Map of the UK

Kirkbymoorside is a market town and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, sitting on the western edge of the North York Moors. The small River Dove runs through the town, which occupies the A170 corridor between Helmsley and Pickering, and it retains a compact historic centre of stone-built streets, a market square and a mix of Georgian and Victorian buildings that reflect its long market‑town heritage.

Today the local economy mixes agriculture with independent shops, cafés and visitor accommodation, and the town is popular with walkers and cyclists heading into the moors. Community life is active for a place of its size, with local events, clubs and pubs sustaining a close-knit atmosphere where historic roots and modern small‑business life sit comfortably together.
