Map of the UK

Swinton in North Yorkshire, England is a small, gently rolling village set around the historic Swinton Park estate, close to the market town of Masham and at the fringes of the Yorkshire Dales and Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It feels quintessentially rural, with stone buildings, country lanes and easy access to scenic walks across the surrounding farmland and parkland.

The estate has long been associated with the Cunliffe‑Lister family and the big house has been adapted in recent years for tourism, leisure and local agricultural enterprises, so the local economy mixes traditional farming with hospitality and events. Socially it’s a small, close‑knit community typical of the area, popular with visitors seeking country pursuits such as shooting, fishing and country‑house hospitality while still being a short drive from market towns like Ripon.
