Walburn is a tiny, sparsely populated civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, centred on the historic Walburn Hall estate. The landscape is a patchwork of pasture, moorland and small woods, with drystone walls and quiet country lanes that appeal to walkers and anyone after a peaceful rural scene.
Locally the economy is largely agricultural with estate-related activity, and the parish’s history is visible in old field boundaries and traditional buildings; social life tends to hinge on the hall and nearby villages, and the area is often visited by people exploring the surrounding dales and historic market towns.
