Thixendale is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, tucked into a steep-sided dry valley of the Yorkshire Wolds. The setting is quintessential Wolds chalk downland - rolling arable fields, pronounced ridges and hollows, and big skies - which gives the place a remote, quietly dramatic character compared with lowland villages.
Economically it is centred on farming with a modest sprinkling of tourism and visitors drawn by walking, cycling and landscape photography. The surrounding hills carry traces of long human habitation - ridge-and-furrow, barrows and earthworks - while the settlement itself is compact, with traditional cottages and a small historic church, lending a strong sense of continuity and community despite its small population.
