Grinton is a small village and civil parish in the Yorkshire Dales, North Yorkshire, England. Close to Reeth and Fremington, it lies 9 miles (15 km) west of Richmond on the B6270 road.[2][3]

On 5 July 2014, the Tour de France Stage 1 from Leeds to Harrogate passed through the village.[4] The route would have been repeated, if not for the changing of the route due to high rainfall, in the Men's road race in the 2019 UCI World Championships[5] going through the climb Grinton moor, which lasted for 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) at an average gradient of 7%.[6]
