Melmerby is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, set in gently rolling agricultural countryside on the edge of moorland that leads towards the Yorkshire Dales. Its name, with the Norse "-by" suffix, hints at Viking origins, and the village still shows a traditional character with stone cottages, a parish church and lanes that reflect a long rural history.
Historically centred on farming, the local economy now blends agriculture with commuting to nearby towns and some countryside tourism for walkers and riders; a close-knit community maintains a village hall and seasonal events, with a local pub and village activities acting as social hubs for residents.
