Map of the UK

Dalton is a small rural village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, set among rolling farmland a few miles from the market town of Thirsk. The settlement retains a quintessential Yorkshire character with stone-built houses, historic farmsteads and a parish church at its heart, and the local economy is still largely agricultural with some residents commuting to nearby towns for work.

The parish benefits from its quiet lanes and countryside setting, within easy reach of the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales for walking and cycling, and it maintains a close-knit community feel with occasional village events and connections to the wider market-town culture of the area. Historical roots are visible in the landscape and buildings, reflecting centuries of rural life in this part of Yorkshire.
