Welcome to Ulleskelf

Ulleskelf is an English civil parish within the unitary authority of North Yorkshire


The ancient Viking village of Ulleskelf is situated in Selby District on the the southernmost edge of the Vale of York where North Yorkshire makes its final assault on the West and East Ridings. Four miles from Tadcaster, it lies next to the tidal stretch of the River Wharfe before it joins the Ouse near Cawood. Here, in its final reaches the river is, in places, narrow and deep, perfect for fishing and as a former crossing point by ferry. The Parish includes the village of Ulleskelf and the houses at the former Church Fenton RAF base.
