A village south-east of York with a long historic street, Lower Derwent countryside and the Yorkshire Air Museum nearby.
Elvington is a village in the City of York council area, about seven miles south-east of York on the B1228 near the River Derwent.
A long historic street, church, traditional houses and established neighbourhoods form the village, with former airfield land and countryside beyond.
Elvington developed along a long principal street close to the River Derwent. Historic buildings, mature gardens and later homes create a varied village scene rather than a single compact centre.
The surrounding Lower Derwent landscape is broad and level, with riverside land and former airfield areas contributing to the village's distinctive setting. York is accessible, but Elvington retains a clearly independent identity.
