Healaugh (pronounced "hee-law")cite web|url=http://www.herriotway.co.uk/place.php3?place=Healaugh&p=7&walk=herriotway|title=Herriot Way|work=Sherpa Expeditions Limited|year=2007|accessdate=2007-06-29] is a small village in Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales. It is in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England and lies about 1 mile west of Reeth.

The name "Healaugh" is derived from a Saxon word ("Heah") meaning a "high-level forest clearing".cite web|url=http://www.dalesman.co.uk/walks/healaugh.htm|title=Healaugh and the River Swale from Reeth|work=Dalesman magazine|year=2002-04-09|author=Dalesman Publishing Ltd|accessdate=2007-06-29]

The village is small, with no amenities except a stone trough fed by a hillside stream, and the village telephone box. The latter is unusually well endowed, with a carpet, waste paper bin, ash tray, directories and fresh flowers. Visitors may leave a donation.

Note

Confusingly, there is another small Yorkshire village called "Healaugh" just north of Tadcaster, in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire.
