Rudby & Ingleby

The Rudby and Ingleby area sits in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, straddling the north bank of the River Leven. The group of settlements includes Hutton Rudby and nearby Ingleby Greenhow, linked by lanes that follow the river and rise into farmland. Local economy is agricultural with small businesses and services serving residents. The parish church, primary school and village hall form focal points for community activity; regular events use the green and riverside paths.

The landscape changes quickly from level river meadows to the steep pasture and heather of the Cleveland Hills; a prominent ridge known locally as Greenhow affords panoramic views over the Leven valley and glimpses of prehistoric field patterns on the slopes. Walks follow field margins, old droveways and rights of way that link to the moorland. The area is used for sheep and mixed farming; hedgerows and small woodlands divide holdings. Road links tie the area to Stokesley and Yarm, while rail services run from nearby towns.
