Strensall is a large village around six miles north of York within the City of York council area, set beside the River Foss.
A historic core, broad residential neighbourhoods and a busy local centre sit alongside military land and the open heath of Strensall Common.
Strensall has grown from a historic linear village into a substantial community with several distinct neighbourhoods. Older houses and cottages remain concentrated around The Village and Church Lane.
The River Foss, Strensall Common and open land around the settlement give residents access to unusually varied green space. Military land is also a longstanding part of the area's identity and physical setting.
