Harmby is a small village in North Yorkshire, England, situated just west of Leyburn in Wensleydale and close to the River Ure and the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The settlement has the air of a traditional Dales village, with stone cottages, a compact main street and nearby woodland, including a picturesque wooded gorge and small waterfall on a local beck that make for popular short walks.

Historically rooted in agriculture, Harmby today mixes farming with a modest tourism trade and people who commute to nearby market towns. Social life is quietly active: there is a village pub atmosphere, local community groups and occasional events that reflect a close-knit feel, making Harmby a peaceful base for exploring the surrounding Dales countryside.
