Kirkby is a small, characterful parish in North Yorkshire, England, set amid the rolling farmland and limestone wharfed country typical of the region. The name comes from Old Norse kirkju-býr, reflecting the historic focus on the parish church, and the settlement is made up of traditional stone houses, dry‑stone walls and pastures that make it attractive to walkers and people exploring nearby dales.
Life in the parish remains largely rural and agricultural - sheep and mixed farming dominate - supplemented by a modest amount of tourism and local crafts, with holiday lets and village events centred on the church or village hall. The community is small and tightly knit, with several listed buildings and a strong interest in conserving the local landscape and heritage.
