Leeming Bar is a small village in North Yorkshire set just off the A1(M), with the looming presence of RAF Leeming nearby. It serves as a local hub for light industry and services and is notable for being the southern terminus of the preserved Wensleydale Railway, so transport and military connections have a visible influence on the local economy and daily life.

Historically the settlement grew up on the old Great North Road and has a compact, village feel with pubs and community activities that draw visitors heading into the open countryside and the Yorkshire Dales. The mix of railway heritage, RAF activity and proximity to market towns such as Northallerton gives Leeming Bar an interesting blend of rural character and transport-linked industry.
