Thornton Watlass is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, set amid rolling farmland a few miles between the market towns of Bedale and Masham. The village retains a classic green and clusters of stone cottages, with wide pastoral views and a sense of quiet rural enclosure that is typical of the Hambleton countryside.
Historically the settlement grew around a manor and its parish church, and the presence of the stately Thornton Watlass Hall and surrounding parkland gives the area a noticeable historic character. The local economy is still largely agricultural, supplemented by some tourism and country-house events, and village life remains close-knit with an emphasis on conserving local traditions and landscape.
