Pockley is a small village and civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England, set among rolling farmland and the limestone ridges that characterise the area. It sits close to the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and within easy reach of the North York Moors, making it a quiet base for walkers and cyclists and giving the lanes and hedgerows a distinctly rural character.
Traditionally an agricultural community of stone-built cottages and farmsteads, Pockley retains a strong sense of village life with small-scale local activity rather than significant industry; nearby market towns such as Helmsley and Malton provide services and markets. Historic roots are visible in the vernacular architecture and boundary walls, and the parish attracts visitors looking for countryside tranquillity and heritage on the fringe of larger tourist routes.
