Nawton is a small village and civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, sitting on the western edge of the North York Moors and a few miles from the market town of Kirkbymoorside and within reach of York. The parish occupies rolling agricultural countryside with hedgerows and small woods, making it a popular base for country walks and cycling into the moors.

Historically the settlement has medieval roots (its name suggesting a "new farm" or town), and farming has long shaped the local economy. Today the community is a mix of farming families, local trades and commuters, with village amenities and community groups sustaining a lively social life; visitors are drawn by the rural character, stone cottages and the proximity of historic houses and moorland scenery.
