The civil parish of Saxton with Scarthingwell sits in rural North Yorkshire a few miles south‑east of Tadcaster, roughly between Leeds and York. It comprises the small nucleated village of Saxton and the hamlet and estate at Scarthingwell, set in low‑lying arable countryside with pockets of parkland and hedged fields; good road links make it attractive to commuters while agriculture remains a dominant part of the local economy.
Locally the area retains a quiet village character, with a parish church, several listed buildings and scattered earthworks hinting at a long rural history, and community life centred on village facilities and occasional local events. The former country house and landscaped grounds at Scarthingwell add architectural and recreational interest, and residents value the mix of heritage, open countryside and easy access to nearby regional centres.
