Although it is situated on the A170, Ebberston village is actually centred around a main street that heads south, away from the heavy traffic. The village is superbly located on the southern edge of the moors. Immediately to the north of the main road is the first steep hill, running parallel to the road at this point. At the southern end of the village, you enter the incredibly flat Vale of Pickering.
Netherby Dale runs north from the village before running out into open farmland that had an unusually high number of earthworks.
Just to the west of the village is Ebberston Hall, a miniature stately home built by William Thompson, the MP for Scarborough. The 'hall' is in the classical Paladian style, but is no larger than most farmhouses!
