Dishforth /ˈdɪʃfəθ/[2] is a village and civil parish in the county of North Yorkshire, England. Dishforth translates from Old English as dic-ford; a ford by a dike or ditch.[3] The population of the parish taken at the 2001 census as 719[4] and had risen to 905 by the time of the 2011 census.[1]

From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the Borough of Harrogate, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.

It is just north of Dishforth Airfield, which up until April 2016 was an Army Air Corps helicopter station.[5]

Geography

The village is close to the A1(M) and the A168.[6] The original route of the Great North Road runs through the village but RAF Dishforth was built over the old road which used to be the A1 and later the A167. The closest town is Boroughbridge 3 miles (4.8 km) to the south.[7]

The A168 roundabout was removed during 1988. Construction began in April 1988, costing £6.79 million.[8][9][10] The roundabout was finally removed at the end of May 1989.[11] The new junction partly opened in late August 1989.[12]
