The village and civil parish of Thoralby sits in Wensleydale in North Yorkshire, England. Set close to the valley of the River Ure and within easy reach of Aysgarth and Bainbridge, it comprises compact stone cottages and working farms typical of the Yorkshire Dales.

With a name of probable Norse origin and medieval roots, Thoralby has a largely agricultural economy centred on sheep and hill farming, now supplemented by visitors and walkers drawn to the nearby waterfalls and limestone scenery. The parish retains a small, close-knit community and a number of historic buildings, making it a quiet, characterful base for exploring the Dales.
