Kirkby North Yorkshire Map

About Kirkby

Kirkby breathes the quiet dignity of the North Yorkshire moors. It lies 12.6 km south-west of Guisborough (from Guisborough: bearing 218°T, OS grid NZ 538 059), and is situated west-south-west of Great Broughton village. The ancient stones of its parish church, St. Michael and All Angels, stand sentinel, their weathered faces catching the pale northern sun, a testament to centuries of devotion. The surrounding landscape, a gentle sweep of farmland and rough pasture, rolls towards the distant, brooding silhouette of the Cleveland Hills, where the air often carries the scent of damp earth and wild heather. Life in Kirkby moves with a measured pace, a gentle cadence underscored by the distant bleating of sheep and the murmur of the wind through the hedgerows. The village green, a modest expanse of well-trodden grass, serves as a quiet heart, a place where the day’s light lingers long into the evening.
