Kirby Misperton is a small village and civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England.
Geography
It is about 4 miles south from Pickering by road and about 7½ miles north from Malton, just west of the A169 road.
Adjacent to the village lies one of the most popular amusement parks in England, Flamingo Land Theme Park and Zoo.[2] A gas field nearby, discovered in 1985, pipes gas to the Knapton Generating Station. The fields were bought by Kelt UK Ltd (owned by Kelt Energy plc and Edinburgh Oil & Gas plc) from Candecca Resources Ltd (owned by BP) in 1992.
