Hellifield is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, sitting on the eastern edge of the Yorkshire Dales and close to the market towns of Settle and Skipton. The village grew up around a major 19th‑century railway junction, and its station still serves the famous Settle–Carlisle route with onward connections towards Leeds and Morecambe, making it a handy base for walkers and visitors exploring the surrounding Dales and the nearby Ribble Valley.
Historically the railways and agriculture dominated the local economy, and vestiges of that industrial past are visible in the station buildings and former sidings, while today the village combines farming, small businesses and commuter households with a modest tourism trade. Socially it feels like a close‑knit rural community with pubs, a village hall and local clubs, and its character is shaped by both the landscape and the legacy of its railway heritage.
