Map of the UK

Hillam is a small village and civil parish in the Selby district of North Yorkshire, set on the broad agricultural plains of the Vale of York roughly between Leeds and Selby. Its flat, productive landscape is framed by lanes and farmsteads and benefits from proximity to major routes such as the M62 and A1(M), which has made the village attractive to commuters while retaining a rural character.

The village has historic roots with a scattering of older buildings and traditional farms; economically it mixes agriculture with a growing residential role. Community life centres on a village hall, recreation ground and local social clubs and events, and residents value the quiet lanes and easy access to nearby towns while keeping a strong local identity.
