Aire Valley

About

The Aire Valley ward encompasses a stretch of the River Aire's course through the southern Yorkshire Dales, primarily within the Craven district. The landscape is defined by limestone scenery, with rolling hills, pastures, and scattered woodlands. Settlements here are typically small villages and hamlets, such as Gargrave and Airton, which serve as focal points for the surrounding agricultural community. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal follows the river's path through the area.

A significant and defining feature is the presence of the famous Three Peaks—Ingleborough, Pen-y-ghent, and Whernside—whose foothills fall within the ward's boundaries, attracting walkers and outdoor enthusiasts. The geology also includes notable karst features like sinkholes and dry valleys. Economic activity is historically linked to farming, quarrying, and tourism centred on the Dales landscape and the long-distance footpaths that traverse it.
