Kirby Knowle is a very small, rural parish in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England, lying a few miles south of the market town of Thirsk. It sits amid rolling arable and pastureland on the edge of the Vale of Mowbray, with a scatter of stone houses and farmsteads rather than a compact village centre.
The area has medieval roots and retains a quiet, agricultural character; there is a historic country house on the site of an earlier manor often referred to locally as Kirby Knowle Castle, and a small parish church serving the sparse community. Local life is largely tied to farming and to nearby towns for shops and services, while the peaceful lanes and countryside attract walkers and those seeking a rural North Yorkshire setting.
