About

Dale ward encompasses a largely rural portion of the East Riding of Yorkshire, characterised by open farmland and the small, dispersed settlements typical of the Holderness plain. The landscape is dominated by agricultural fields, with the land gently sloping towards the coast. The ward includes the village of Roos, which serves as a local hub with its parish church and primary school, alongside other smaller hamlets like Hilston and Owstwick.

A significant feature is the presence of the disowned Roos Wind Farm, its turbines a prominent landmark on the skyline. The area's boundary runs close to the North Sea coast, with access to the shoreline at the quiet Holmpton Beach. The ward's economy and character remain closely tied to the land, with farming as the principal activity shaping the environment and community life.
