Minskip is a village in the heart of the North Yorkshire countryside, just a short distance from the market town of Boroughbridge. With its traditional Yorkshire stone buildings and rural surroundings, while remaining within easy reach of local amenities.

Minskip has a long history, with the village recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, when it was known as Minescip.
