Winksley is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, close to the city of Ripon and administered within the Harrogate district. Set among rolling farmland and limestone outcrops on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, it is a sparsely populated, quietly rural community characterised by narrow lanes and traditional stone cottages.
The local economy remains largely agricultural, though a number of residents commute to nearby towns; the parish has long historic roots and retains an intimate village character with community events rather than shops or industry. Its quiet lanes and nearby walking country make it attractive to walkers and those seeking a rural base close to Ripon and the Dales.
