Harwood Dale is a small, rural civil parish in North Yorkshire, lying on the wooded edge of the North York Moors within the Borough of Scarborough in England. The settlement sits in a narrow dale - a mix of pasture, small arable fields and pockets of ancient woodland - so its character is very much shaped by the surrounding moorland and valley topography rather than by any urban centre.

Locally the economy revolves around farming and quiet tourism: walkers, birdwatchers and people staying in holiday cottages who come for the moors and nearby coastline. The parish has a long rural history reflected in stone farmhouses and lanes, and community life is typical of small North Yorkshire parishes, centred on local events, parish meetings and a close‑knit populace rather than commercial amenities.
