Map of the UK

The civil parish of Thirkleby High and Low with Osgodby sits in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England, and comprises the small hamlets of High Thirkleby, Low Thirkleby and Osgodby. The area is typical of the Vale of Mowbray and surrounding rolling farmland - hedged fields, pockets of parkland and quiet lanes - with agriculture still the dominant local economy, alongside a number of residents who commute to nearby market towns such as Thirsk and Northallerton.

Place‑names ending in "by" hint at Viking‑age origins, and the parish retains traces of a former country house and landscaped estate that speak to its 18th–19th century gentry past. Community life is small and rural, centred on parish institutions, walking routes and local events; the combination of stone buildings, birdlife and open countryside gives the area a distinctly pastoral character popular with walkers and those seeking a quieter pace of life.
