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.
What’s available on our doorstep can influence how we age. The park, the GP, the social groups, the library, the community centre.
But these things aren’t easily accessible for everyone.
This International Day of Older People we are celebrating the people, places and services that help us to stay active and connected in our community – whilst shining a light on the barriers that can make them harder to access.

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.
North Yorkshire Council is offering the chance to try out market trading free for one day. This opportunity is open to first-time traders who want to experience running a market stall at no cost, and existing market traders who would like to try trading at a different market location operated by North Yorkshire Council.
You can choose from one of our vibrant markets in Ripon, Thirsk, Northallerton, Helmsley, Pickering and Whitby.
