Map of the UK

Oulston is a small village and civil parish in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England. Situated in rolling limestone countryside on the edge of the Howardian Hills, it retains a distinctly agricultural character with stone farmhouses and a handful of listed buildings, reflecting medieval and later rural settlement patterns; the nearby Oulston Reservoir is notable for its birdlife and waterside walks.

Community life is quiet and closely tied to neighbouring market towns such as Easingwold and the city of York, which provide shops, services and cultural draws. The parish appeals to walkers, birdwatchers and those seeking a rural base while traditional farming and small-scale rural enterprises continue to shape the local economy and social rhythms.
