Henderskelfe is a small civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, set within the gently rolling limestone of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Much of the parish is occupied by the parkland and gardens of Castle Howard, with surrounding farmland and woodland giving the area a distinctly rural character close to the market town of Malton and the city of York.
Historically the land is tied to the Howard family and the stately home, and visitors can still spot earthworks and traces of earlier settlement within the estate. Today the local economy is largely agricultural but bolstered by tourism and events at Castle Howard, while social life remains small‑scale and closely connected to neighbouring villages and market towns for services and community activities.
