Osmotherley is a small village and civil parish on the western edge of the North York Moors in North Yorkshire, England. Perched on the Hambleton Hills, it offers sweeping moorland views and is a well-used base for walkers on long-distance routes such as the Cleveland Way and the Lyke Wake Walk, with easy access to surrounding dales and reservoirs.
The village retains a compact centre of stone cottages, traditional pubs and the medieval St Peter's Church, reflecting agricultural and coaching-road roots; today the local economy mixes hill farming with hospitality and outdoor-tourism businesses. Community life is active with local clubs and seasonal events, and the village's name - of Old English origin with a few colourful folk tales attached - hints at a long, layered history that appeals to visitors as much as to residents.
