Murton is a small village east of York within the City of York council area, close to the A166, A64 and the city's eastern employment areas.
A rural village core of traditional homes and farms sits beside a mixed edge-of-city landscape of fields, businesses and visitor attractions.
Murton has a rural core but sits close to major employment, retail and road connections on York's eastern side. This creates an unusual mix of village streets, farmland and commercial activity in the wider area.
The settlement itself remains small and recognisable, with traditional buildings and open edges preventing it from blending fully into the city. Nearby footpaths maintain links with Dunnington, Osbaldwick and surrounding fields.
