Scackleton is a small, rural civil parish in North Yorkshire, lying in the rolling countryside of the Ryedale area and close to the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It’s a quiet farming settlement within easy reach of market towns such as Malton and Pickering, and retains a noticeably rural character of stone farmhouses, lanes and arable fields.
Historically centred on agriculture, the community today remains small and closely knit, with limited services and a reliance on nearby towns for shops and amenities. The parish is attractive to walkers and anyone seeking a peaceful Yorkshire landscape, and contains several traditional buildings and farmsteads that reflect its long rural heritage.
