Farnham is a small, largely rural civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, set amid rolling farmland and hedged lanes rather than an urban centre. The landscape is typical of lower upland Yorkshire, with stone-built houses, farms and pockets of species-rich pasture; its quiet lanes and proximity to the moorland fringe make it popular with walkers and cyclists looking to escape busier tourist routes.
Locally the economy is dominated by agriculture and small-scale rural enterprises, while the social life revolves around a handful of community events, the parish church and village hall that help bind residents together. There are a few historic buildings and farmsteads reflecting a long agricultural past, and many visitors appreciate the parish for its sense of place and easy access to nearby market towns and the attractions of the Yorkshire Dales.
