East Tanfield is a tiny, largely rural civil parish on the edge of North Yorkshire, sitting on the agricultural landscape at the fringe of the Yorkshire Dales. The parish comprises scattered farms and fields rather than a single village; it's close to the better-known settlement of West Tanfield and within easy reach of market towns such as Masham, with the rolling valley of the River Ure not far away.
Historically the area bears traces of earlier settlement - earthworks of a deserted medieval village can still be seen - and its economy has long been dominated by farming, with a growing interest in rural tourism and holiday lets. Social life is quiet and typically revolves around neighbouring villages and market towns, while the surrounding lanes, hedgerows and field patterns give a strong sense of the county’s agricultural heritage.
