Murton is a small village and civil parish on the eastern edge of York in England, now within the City of York authority. It sits in a semi‑rural landscape of fields and hedgerows a short drive from the city and the A64, and has developed into a quiet commuter community while still showing its agricultural roots.
The village is notable for Murton Park, home to the Yorkshire Museum of Farming and regular living‑history events, which underline the area's strong interest in rural and historic heritage. With a close‑knit local community and easy access to York's cultural and economic amenities, Murton appeals to those wanting countryside living within reach of the city.
