Ryedale · North Yorkshire
A quiet, historic village of honey-stone cottages and pantile roofs, tucked between the North York Moors and the Vale of Pickering.
A warm Yorkshire welcome
Allerston is a civil parish in North Yorkshire, about five miles east of Pickering on the A170, on the edge of the North York Moors. Its council is the joint Allerston & Wilton Parish Council. Anglo-Saxon origins are reflected in the village's name, and today it remains a working rural community — a place of stone cottages, farmland, footpaths and neighbours who look out for one another.
Our nearest larger village is Thornton-le-Dale — home to the nearest shop and Post Office, the GP branch surgery and the church benefice Allerston belongs to. For walks, towns and the coast beyond the village, see the North York Moors guide. This site is also the hub for neighbouring Wilton, which shares the Allerston & Wilton Parish Council with us.
