Nun Monkton is a small, picturesque riverside village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, sitting on the banks of the River Ouse a short drive north-west of York. The settlement retains a strong village character with a green, historic stone houses and a prominent medieval church, and its waterside setting makes it popular with walkers, anglers and those seeking a quiet countryside base close to the city.
The name records a medieval nunnery that once stood here and, like many places in the region, the landscape still bears traces of that long history; parts of the village include fine historic buildings and lanes that feel distinctly unspoilt. Today the local economy is largely agricultural with a number of residents commuting to York, while a small but active community continues to stage village events and maintain its rural traditions.
