Welburn is a small village and civil parish in Ryedale, within North Yorkshire, England. It sits on the edge of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and lies not far from the parkland of Castle Howard, with Malton and Kirkbymoorside the nearest market towns and York within an easy commute.
The village retains a quiet, agricultural character with limestone cottages and farmsteads and a close‑knit community life; its proximity to estate landscapes and footpaths makes it popular with walkers and those interested in local history, while many residents work in nearby towns and cities. Historic links to the surrounding country houses and the pattern of rural landholding are still visible in the layout and architecture of the settlement.
