Hipswell is a civil parish in the district of Richmondshire, in North Yorkshire, England, sitting close to the northern edge of Catterick Garrison and overlooking parts of the River Swale valley. Its setting mixes open agricultural land and small clusters of housing, giving a distinctly rural feel despite proximity to the large military complex and nearby market towns.
The parish has long-standing ties to the armed forces, which shape much of the local economy and social life, while farming and small local services remain important. There are historic touches - a medieval church and war memorials feature alongside more recent garrison-era buildings - and the community is characterised by village halls, local pubs and footpaths that link residents to neighbouring Richmond and the surrounding North Yorkshire countryside.
