Temple Hirst is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, set close to the east bank of the River Aire and not far from the market town of Selby. The landscape is low-lying and largely agricultural, with riverside meadows and arable fields giving it a quiet, waterside character while still being within commuting reach of larger centres such as Leeds.
The village’s name reflects a medieval association with the Knights Templar, and a few historic farmsteads and buildings hint at that past. Today the local economy is predominantly farming-based, with many residents travelling to nearby towns for work; the community is small with limited amenities but a strong local identity and occasional riverside leisure activity.
