About

Heworth is a residential suburb situated directly east of York's city centre, just beyond the ancient city walls. The area is primarily composed of housing, ranging from Victorian terraces near the Foss Islands to more modern estates further out. It functions as a commuter area for the city, with good road links via Lawrence Street and the A1079. The ward includes the district of Heworth Village, which has its own local shopping parade and serves as a community hub.

The ward is bordered by the River Foss to the west and the East Coast Main Line railway to the east. A significant green space is Heworth Holme, a large recreational field. The area is also home to the historic St. Mary's Church in Heworth Village, which stands on a prominent mound. The University of York's Heslington East campus extends into the southern part of the ward, influencing its demographic.
