Stockton-on-the-Forest is a village and civil parish on the north‑eastern edge of York, lying within the City of York unitary authority and the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire. Historically connected with the old Forest of Galtres, it combines traditional stone and brick cottages clustered around a village green with more recent housing, and retains a parish church, primary school and village hall at its heart.
Set among small woodlands, ponds and farmland, the village is popular with commuters into York and with walkers and cyclists exploring local lanes and green spaces; active community groups and occasional village events give it a strong social feel while remaining well connected to the city and the wider region.
