Hury is a village in Baldersdale, in the Pennines, and in the northerly parts of the North Riding of Yorkshire.

The village is on the north side of a part of the dale wrought by the hand of man into a string of reservoirs: immediately south of Hury is the lowest of them, the Hury Resevoir, below which the River Balder escapes to flow eastwards for its last few miles to the River Tees.
