Melsonby is a small village and civil parish in rural North Yorkshire, England, set among rolling farmland and honey‑coloured stone cottages. It has a modest historic core with a parish church, a village hall and a pub, and the feel of a close-knit rural community that attracts walkers and people looking for quieter country living.

The local economy remains largely agricultural, with many residents commuting to nearby market towns such as Richmond and Darlington via the A1. The village has a steady programme of community events and local societies, and its setting makes it a convenient base for exploring the wider Yorkshire scenery, including the nearby hills and dales.
