in the heart of Hambleton
Farlington is a small, picturesque farming village in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire.
The village has a 12th century church, St. Leonards, a good pub, the Blacksmith’s Arms, and has a small stream, Farlington Beck running through it.
Farlington is ideally situated for a walk in the Hambleton Hills, a visit to Castle Howard, a day out in the historic city of York, or the market town of Malton.
North Yorkshire Council has published its Local Nature Recovery Strategy.
North Yorkshire supports an amazing diversity of landscapes and wildlife, from ancient woodland and chalk hills to large expanses of open moorland and beautiful historic parklands. It is is also home to five protected landscapes, one of which is the Howardian Hills, right here on our doorstep.
The Local Nature Recovery Strategy considers land at a county scale and identifies locations to improve nature and provide other benefits, such as capturing carbon from the atmosphere, flood regulation and access to nature-rich spaces where this is most needed for health and wellbeing.
The Local Nature Recovery Strategy:
From 15th to 30th May, North Yorkshire Council is celebrating ‘Love Your Local Market’ fortnight. This national UK initiative celebrates and supports the vibrant world of local markets.
