Hensall is a small village and civil parish in the Selby district of North Yorkshire, England, set on the flat, arable landscape of the Vale of York. It sits amid farmland and drains, with a compact village core and good road links that put larger centres such as Selby and Pontefract - and, a little further afield, Leeds and Doncaster - within easy commuting distance.
Historically agricultural, the local economy still has strong farming and market-gardening roots, but the village also supports a lively community life with a village hall, clubs and occasional fairs and shows. There are several older buildings and a traditional rural character that blends with modest modern housing, making it the sort of place that feels quietly rooted in local history while serving as a base for people working in nearby towns.
