Dishforth is a small rural parish in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England, sitting beside the A1(M) and surrounded by arable fields and gently rolling countryside. The parish includes the military base at Dishforth Airfield, a former RAF station whose presence and wartime history have left a distinctive imprint on the local landscape.
Locally the economy remains largely agricultural, supplemented by employment from the airfield and by commuters travelling to nearby market towns such as Thirsk and Boroughbridge. Social life is typical of small Yorkshire communities - centred on the village hall, church and clubs - with a strong sense of local identity and visible historic ties to the old North Riding of Yorkshire.
