About the place

Every street and corner in a frame.

On the west bank of the River Ouse, 6 miles south of York, Acaster Selby is a village that feels a world away from city life. This small, tranquil settlement shares a civil parish with Appleton Roebuck, and its riverside position offers views across to Stillingfleet on the opposite bank. With no through traffic and a scattering of historic homes, Acaster Selby retains a sense of seclusion that many modern villages have lost. The landscape here is classic North Yorkshire countryside: flat, fertile fields meeting the slow curve of the Ouse. For those who know it, Acaster Selby is a place of quiet walks, river light, and a deep connection to the land. Its population is included within Appleton Roebuck, but its identity stands alone , a hidden pocket of Yorkshire calm.

  • Acaster Selby lies directly on the west bank of the River Ouse, with Stillingfleet visible just across the water.
  • The village is part of a joint civil parish with Appleton Roebuck, located 1.3 miles to the north-west.
  • Acaster Selby is approximately 6 miles south of York, placing it within easy reach of the historic city centre.

Acaster Selby sits on the west bank of the River Ouse, opposite Stillingfleet. Appleton Roebuck lies 1.3 miles north-west, and the historic city of York is 6 miles north. The surrounding area is open, agricultural countryside with riverside footpaths.
