Youlton is a village in the North Riding of Yorkshire, about five miles south-west of Easingwold and eleven miles from York. The population of the parish at the 2011 census was fewer than 100.

The village stands midway between the River Ure and the River Kyle. Local roads link the village with Alne, Yorkshire, to the north and Great Ouseburn to the west.

History

The rights to the manor in the village used to belong to University College, Oxford. Amongst the previous landowners were the de Ros family. Youlton Hall was used by King James I as an overnight stop between London and Edinburgh.[1]
