Eavestone is a hamlet and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated near Brimham Rocks, 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Pateley Bridge. The population of the parish was estimated at 20 in 2012.[1]

Eavestone was historically in the West Riding of Yorkshire. It is mentioned in the Domesday Book, held by the Archbishop of York in 1086.[2] It remained an extra parochial area until 1743,[3] when it was joined to the parish of Ripon. It became a separate civil parish in 1866,[4] and was transferred to North Yorkshire in 1974.
