Hellifield is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England (grid reference SD855565).

[1] Hellifield mostly lies on mudstone that dates to the Carboniferous period; there are some patches of glaciofluvial deposits and peat around the village.

In medieval times it seems that the area between Hellifield and Long Preston was hunted by wolves, so men were employed to guide travellers between the two settlements.

[4] Hellifield was historically a township in the ancient parish of Long Preston in the West Riding of Yorkshire.

[7] This coincided with the opening of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company's new line from Blackburn to Hellifield.

The Hellifield Flashes (Yorkshire dialect for a pond in a field) are part of the village life and history.

Hellifield nestles on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and is surrounded by rolling hills, dry stone walls and agricultural land.

A proposal to build a 4-mile (6.5 km) bypass for the A65 around Hellifield and Long Preston has been in discussion since the end of the Second World War.
