Map of the UK

Westow is a small village and civil parish in Ryedale, North Yorkshire, set among rolling farmland on the fringes of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It sits a short distance from the market town of Malton and within easy reach of York, so the parish combines a quiet rural setting with relatively straightforward links to larger centres.

Historically agricultural, the community is centred on a handful of stone cottages, a parish church and local farms, and it benefits from passing interest in the wider area - notably visitors to Castle Howard and walkers exploring the hills and dales of Ryedale. The social life is typical of a small Yorkshire village: a tight-knit community with local events and a mix of farming, tourism-related activity and commuter households.
