Oldstead is a small village and civil parish on the western edge of the North York Moors in North Yorkshire, England. Set among rolling moorland and pasture, it has the character of a traditional Yorkshire hill settlement with stone cottages, narrow lanes and wide rural views that attract walkers and countryside visitors.
Historically agricultural, the local economy remains rooted in farming but has a growing tourism element centred on food and hospitality: the village is best known for The Black Swan, a celebrated farm-to-table pub and restaurant that brought national attention to the area. Community life is small and close-knit, marked by rural traditions and seasonal rhythms rather than urban services.
