The village and civil parish of Upper Poppleton sits on the western outskirts of York in England, about four miles north‑west of the city centre. It neighbours Nether Poppleton and lies beside the floodplain meadows of the River Ouse, with a railway station on the Harrogate line that helped it grow into a popular commuter village in the 19th and 20th centuries.
With medieval roots and a compact village core, Upper Poppleton retains a villagey, conservation feel - stone buildings, a village hall and active local clubs - while combining small local businesses with a largely residential population who work in York. The riverside setting and nearby open spaces are valued for walking and wildlife, and regular community events contribute to a strong local identity.
