Oxton is a small village and civil parish tucked into the rolling countryside of North Yorkshire, England. It has the quiet, rural character common to the county - stone cottages and farmhouses clustered around a village core, surrounded by working farmland and lanes that make it popular with walkers and anyone after a countryside break.
Historically the name reflects its agricultural roots (from Old English for a place associated with oxen) and the settlement retains a number of older buildings and a parish church that speak to medieval origins. The local economy remains largely agricultural, supplemented by small rural businesses, holiday lets and commuters to nearby market towns, while a small, close-knit community keeps village traditions and occasional events alive.
