Gateforth is a small civil parish in North Yorkshire, set in low-lying, agricultural countryside just a short distance from the market town of Selby. It feels distinctly rural, with lanes, fields and scattered farmsteads rather than a built-up centre.
Economically and socially the area is centred on farming and country living, with residents relying on nearby towns for most services; you’ll find traditional stone and brick farmhouses and the occasional country house that hint at the parish’s historic roots. Its quiet lanes and rural setting make it popular with walkers and cyclists looking for a peaceful slice of Yorkshire life.
