Crayke is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, set on a limestone ridge a short drive north of York and close to Easingwold. Its position on the edge of the rolling Howardian Hills gives pleasant views over the Vale of York and the surrounding farmland, and it sits conveniently within reach of the A19 for links to larger towns.
The village has deep medieval roots with historic connections to the bishops of Durham and an ancient parish church, and today remains a largely agricultural community with a number of residents commuting into York. Local life is quiet but active, centred on village amenities such as the pub, village hall and community groups, which help preserve a strong social fabric alongside its rural economy.
