Whitley is a small, rural civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, set in gently rolling arable countryside and characterised by traditional stone cottages, farmsteads and a compact village core. Its origins run back several centuries, so there are a few historic buildings and a parish church that hint at medieval roots, while lanes and public footpaths make it popular with walkers looking for quiet rural scenery.
Farming remains an important part of the local economy, though many residents now commute to nearby towns such as Ripon for work and services. Social life is centred on the village hall and occasional community events, giving Whitley the feel of a close-knit place that still values its agricultural heritage and country way of life.
