Map of the UK

West Hauxwell is a small civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, set in gently rolling agricultural countryside. It comprises scattered farms and a handful of traditional stone buildings, with lanes and field patterns that reflect long-standing rural use rather than a large nucleated village.

Historically agricultural, the local economy remains dominated by mixed farming and small-scale rural enterprises, and the built environment includes a few older farmhouses and outbuildings of interest. Social and cultural life is quiet and closely tied to neighbouring communities and parish institutions, with the landscape providing the main draw for walkers and those seeking a peaceful rural setting.
