About

Esk Valley & Coast covers a large, rural area in the northeastern corner of the North York Moors National Park. It is defined by the deep, wooded valley of the River Esk, which flows from the moorland interior to the North Sea. The landscape transitions from upland heather moors down through farmland to a dramatic, eroding coastline of cliffs and small bays. Settlements are small and scattered, consisting of villages like Sleights and Glaisdale, with the historic port of Whitby forming the ward's major coastal hub.

The economy has traditionally been based on agriculture, forestry, and tourism centred on the moorland and coastal scenery. The North Yorkshire Moors Railway steam line runs through the valley, connecting Pickering to Whitby and providing a distinctive transport link. Fishing remains an active, though reduced, industry in Whitby. The area's character is strongly shaped by its geology, with the Esk Valley cutting through the moorland plateau and the coast revealing layers of Jurassic shale and sandstone.
