Gayles is a small, predominantly rural civil parish in the district of Richmondshire in North Yorkshire, England. It sits among gently rolling farmland on the fringe of the Yorkshire Dales, close to the market town of Richmond and the valley of the River Swale, giving it a quietly scenic, accessible location.

The parish retains a largely agricultural character, with traditional stone cottages and farmhouses, hedged fields and a network of country lanes and footpaths. Its history is typical of northern English rural communities - shaped by farming and local estates - and today it appeals to those seeking quiet village life, countryside walks and the small-community social fabric of North Yorkshire.
