Harmby is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, set on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales near the market town of Leyburn in Wensleydale. Nestled beside the River Ure, the settlement is known locally for pleasant riverside walks and a modest cascade often called Harmby Falls, and it retains a core of stone-built cottages and lanes that reflect its rural character.
Traditionally an agricultural community with sheep and mixed farming, Harmby now balances countryside livelihoods with a modest visitor trade drawn by walking, cycling and Dales scenery; many residents use nearby Leyburn or Richmond for services. Social life is typically village-centred, with local events and a strong community feel common to small North Yorkshire settlements.
