Stirton with Thorlby is a small, traditionally rural civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, sitting on the fringe of the Yorkshire Dales near the market town of Skipton. The landscape is typical of the Dales' outskirts: rolling pasture, dry stone walls and clusters of old stone farmhouses and barns, making it popular with walkers and those seeking a quieter base close to upland scenery.
Its character is shaped by long-standing agricultural activity and a compact, village-style social life; many properties are historic or stone-built and the area is valued for its sense of community. Economically it remains largely rural while also serving as a commuter and recreational area for people working or visiting nearby towns and the national park.
