Hirst Courtney is a small village and civil parish in the Selby district of North Yorkshire, set on low-lying agricultural land close to the River Aire. It sits in a largely rural landscape not far from the market town of Selby and the neighbouring village of Temple Hirst, and its setting means the area has a history of wet ground and occasional flooding.
The village has a quiet, agricultural character - historically a farming community whose name reflects the Old English "hurst" (wooded rise) combined with a later family name - while many residents now commute into nearby towns for work. There are few services on site, so community life tends to centre on the parish and local events, with a sense of close-knit village identity and long local ties to the surrounding countryside.
