Womersley is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, sitting close to the border with South Yorkshire and within easy driving distance of Doncaster and Selby. The village occupies flat, largely agricultural countryside threaded with small streams and drainage channels that eventually feed into the Humber estuary, so the landscape is quietly rural and good for walking and cycling.
Historically the community has been centred on its parish church and the nearby estate land, and agriculture still shapes the local economy while many residents now commute to nearby towns for work. Social life is typical of a small English village - a tightâknit community, some listed buildings and farmsteads, and a relaxed, unhurried character that attracts people who prefer country living with reasonable access to larger centres.
