Snape is a popular village located close to the market towns of Masham and Bedale. A beck runs through the centre of village.

Snape also has a farm shop, primary school, public house and Methodist Chapel with the larger centres at Masham, Bedale and Ripon providing secondary schools, supermarkets, cafes and restaurants.
