Marishes is a small civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England, lying a few miles north‑east of Malton in the lowland Vale of Pickering and close to the River Derwent. Its name reflects the once marshy, waterlogged ground that has been drained and managed over generations, leaving a patchwork of fields, drainage dykes and wetland pockets.
Today the area is predominantly agricultural with a small, dispersed population and a quiet, rural feel; historic drainage schemes and traditional farming have strongly shaped the landscape. The wetlands and fields can be good for birdwatching and gentle country walks, while residents commonly look to nearby towns for services and markets, preserving a close‑knit community character rooted in farming history.
