Cawood & Escrick

About

Cawood & Escrick ward lies in the Selby District of North Yorkshire, encompassing several villages and surrounding farmland along the low-lying Vale of York. The area is defined by its agricultural character and its position near the River Ouse. The village of Cawood, with its historic castle gatehouse, sits on the river's banks. Escrick lies slightly to the east, near the Escrick Park estate. The landscape is largely flat, consisting of productive arable fields and patches of woodland.

A notable feature is the presence of Skipwith Common, a large area of lowland heath and ancient woodland to the east of Escrick, which is a National Nature Reserve. The ward's settlements are connected by rural lanes, and the area maintains a quiet, village-centred pace of life. Economic activity is primarily linked to farming, with some local commerce serving the resident communities. The ward's geography places it between the city of York and the town of Selby.
