The parish of Ulleskelf sits beside the River Wharfe in rural North Yorkshire, England, a compact community of farms, stone cottages and riverside meadows. It’s within easy reach of market towns such as Selby and is commutable to York, giving it a blend of traditional countryside character and practical links to nearby centres.
With a name that reflects Old Norse origins, the parish has long been shaped by agriculture and the river, and today retains a strong village feel: a small railway station, a village hall, a local pub and regular community events keep social life active while the surrounding landscape remains important to the local economy and leisure.
