Welbury is a village and civil parish in the former Hambleton District of North Yorkshire, England.

The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as having 6 Geld units for taxable purposes and King William being the Lord.

[3] In 1319, the village and fields were destroyed by marauding Scots on their way to meet the English at what would become the Battle of Myton.

The line is still open and is served by Trans-Pennine expresses between Middlesbrough and Manchester Airport via York and Leeds.

[9] Welbury has a village pub, The Duke of Wellington, which gives its land over to the welly wanging championships.
