About

Hipswell & Colburn ward lies directly south of Catterick Garrison, one of the largest British Army bases in the UK. The area's character is strongly shaped by this proximity, with a significant portion of the population having military connections. The landscape is defined by the River Swale to the north and open agricultural land, featuring a mix of residential developments and older village cores.

The ward comprises the distinct communities of Hipswell village and the larger town of Colburn, which developed substantially to provide housing for the garrison. Colburn serves as a key local service centre with its own shopping facilities. A notable local feature is the Hipswell Hydro, a historic, early 20th-century electricity generating station situated on the river, reflecting the area's industrial heritage.
