Map of the UK

The village and civil parish of Sharow lies a couple of miles east of Ripon in North Yorkshire. Set in a largely agricultural landscape beside the valley of the River Ure, it retains a village green, stone-built houses and a small parish church that reflect its long history.

Locally the community mixes farming, small-scale local businesses and commuters who travel to Ripon, Harrogate or further afield; there is an active village life with seasonal events and clubs that help preserve a strong social fabric. Its attractive rural setting and easy access to nearby market towns make it typical of compact North Yorkshire parishes with both historic character and contemporary village life.
