Hudswell is a village and civil parish on the border of the Yorkshire Dales, in North Yorkshire, England. The population at the ONS Census 2011 was 353.[1]

It lies approximately 2 miles west of Richmond, its nearest town, 3 miles north-west of Catterick Garrison and 12+12 miles south-west of Darlington. The village public house, George & Dragon, closed in 2008 and re-opened in 2010 as a "community-owned" public house. The premises now also house a small shop and a library. Hudswell lies just south of the River Swale and the A6108, which runs through nearby Richmond. It takes the form of a 'Roadside Village', described as "...merely a string of buildings – houses, shops, inns and others – standing more or less indiscriminately." in The Anatomy of the village by Thomas Wilfred Sharp.[2]

According to the 2011 census, Hudswell has a population of 353 and 152 households.[3] The civil parish of Hudswell contains the hamlet of Brokes, 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to the south.[4][5]
