Ulleskelf is a small village and civil parish in the Selby district of North Yorkshire, England, set on the north bank of the River Wharfe. Its riverside location and surrounding arable landscape give it a distinctly rural feel, with a mix of traditional stone buildings and more modern housing reflecting steady, modest growth.
Historically tied to agriculture, Ulleskelf now combines farming with a commuter population who travel to nearby centres such as York and Leeds; the village is served by a small railway station that provides local connections. Community life centres on a village hall, church and local pubs, and the close relationship with the Wharfe means occasional flooding is a local concern as well as part of the village’s character.
