Danby is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, sitting on the southern fringe of the North York Moors and overlooking the Esk Valley. The surrounding heather moorland and rolling dales give it that classic moorland feel and make it a quiet base for walkers and wildlife enthusiasts.
Historically a farming community, the local economy remains rooted in agriculture and upland moor management, with rural tourism and day visitors supporting pubs, holiday lets and small enterprises. The village contains traditional stone buildings and historic features such as a medieval church and the old fortified house known as Danby Castle, and retains a strong sense of local community tied to seasonal moorland life.
