Warlaby is a small village and civil parish in the county of North Yorkshire, England. [2] The population of the civil parish taken at the 2011 Census was less than 100. Details are included in the civil parish of Ainderby Steeple. [3] In 2015, North Yorkshire County Council estimated the population to be around 50 people. [1] It is near the A684 and Morton-on-Swale.
