Hirst Courtney is a small village and civil parish in the district of Selby, in North Yorkshire. Set on the low-lying agricultural plain close to the River Aire, it retains a distinctly rural character with farms and hedged fields defining the local landscape rather than extensive development.
Historically tied to Yorkshire's agricultural and manorial economy, the parish has a small, close-knit population and only limited local services, so many residents commute to larger towns and cities in the region. The village’s modest historic buildings and quiet lanes reflect its rural past, while its proximity to regional transport routes makes it a peaceful base within reach of places such as Leeds and other West and North Yorkshire centres.
