Map of the UK

Cowesby is a small, rural civil parish in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England, characterised by rolling farmland, estate parkland and a very low population. At its heart is a historic country house and surrounding grounds, with the settlement pattern dominated by farmsteads and a scattering of listed buildings rather than a large village centre.

Locally the economy is largely agricultural and estate-based, and community life tends to look to nearby market towns such as Thirsk and Easingwold for shops and services. Its tranquillity and proximity to the pleasant countryside of the Howardian Hills make it attractive to walkers and anyone seeking a quieter rural lifestyle.
