Copt Hewick is a small civil parish located in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England. Situated approximately 4 miles south of the town of Ripon, the parish covers an area of about 7.5 square kilometers.

Characterized by its picturesque rural setting, Copt Hewick is home to a population of around 200 residents. The village consists of a scattering of houses and farms, surrounded by rolling countryside and farmland. The River Ure flows through the parish, adding to its natural beauty.

Historically, Copt Hewick was part of the ancient parish of Kirkby Malzeard, but it became a separate civil parish in the 19th century. The name "Copt Hewick" is believed to have originated from the Old English words "cop" meaning summit or hilltop, and "hiewic" meaning enclosure or farm.

The village does not have its own church or school, with residents typically traveling to neighboring settlements for these services. However, Copt Hewick does have a village hall, which serves as a community hub for various events and activities.

Copt Hewick offers a peaceful and idyllic setting, attracting those seeking a tranquil lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle of larger towns and cities. With its charming countryside, access to outdoor activities, and close proximity to nearby amenities, Copt Hewick provides a quaint rural retreat in the heart of Yorkshire.

Old milepost After 25 minutes of clearing vegetation and soil by the photographer this milepost is now more visible. As the verge at this point is only about a metre wide it may be difficult to completely refurbish it safely. It is one of 14 known survivors of mileposts made by J Ingram, Ripon which are on the A61 from Ripon to Harrogate and the B6265 from Boroughbridge through Ripon to Pateley Bridge.

Old milepost At the western end of Sharow is this milepost which, from its style, was probably cast at the J Ingram foundry in Ripon in the middle to late 19th century. Last painted in 2009 by a milestone Society member. Difficult to read on the righthand side is SHAROW/COPT-HEWICK/DISHFORTH/1.

Old milepost Just inside Hutton Lane the unclassified roadleading to Hutton Conyers and Bedale. Although no foundry name is evident it was probably cast by J Ingram in Ripon as it is very similar to posts on the Ripon to Pateley Bridge road which have the makers name cast on. The legend on the left face is HUTTON/CONYERS/½/WATH/3/BEDALE/12.
