Thorpe Willoughby is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, situated a few miles north of the market town of Selby and within easy reach of the River Ouse. The "Thorpe" element reflects its Norse-origin settlement and "Willoughby" comes from a medieval landowning family; the village lies in low-lying arable countryside and was historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire before county reorganisations.
Today it is largely residential, with local shops, a primary school, a village hall and sports clubs, and many people commuting to Leeds and York or working in nearby Selby. Community life revolves around village events and the pubs, while its proximity to the countryside and attractions like Selby Abbey mean residents enjoy a quieter rural lifestyle with easy access to riverside walks and farmland.
