Kirby Misperton is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, sitting on the southern fringe of the North York Moors amid rolling farmland and stone cottages. It lies close to Pickering and Malton, and the parish is notable for containing Flamingo Land theme park and zoo, a major local employer and tourist draw that contrasts with the surrounding rural landscape.
The village has a historic core centred on its parish church and a long agricultural tradition, but in recent years attracted wider attention because of controversial shale‑gas exploration and drilling on nearby land, which sparked local protest and national debate about rural development and energy. Despite that, Kirby Misperton remains a small, active community with village groups and seasonal events typical of North Yorkshire villages.
