About

Great Ayton ward encompasses the village of the same name along with surrounding rural land in the Hambleton district. The area sits at the foot of the North York Moors, with the River Leven flowing through it. The landscape is defined by arable farmland, wooded valleys, and the prominent local landmark of Roseberry Topping, a distinctive hill with a half-cone profile. The ward includes smaller settlements like Little Ayton and parts of the moors.

The village itself has a linear layout along its main street, with a mix of residential housing, local shops, and services. Historically, it is noted for its association with Captain James Cook, who spent his boyhood here. The area's economy has traditionally been linked to agriculture, though it also serves as a residential base for commuters to larger towns like Middlesbrough and Stokesley, located a short distance away.
