Hunmanby & Sherburn

Hunmanby & Sherburn ward encompasses a large rural area on the Yorkshire coast, characterised by agricultural land and the distinct limestone escarpment of the Wolds. The ward includes the large village of Hunmanby, with its historic market square and notable former grammar school building. The landscape transitions towards the coast, where the smaller settlement of Reighton sits, with its caravan parks and access to the beach.

The ward extends inland to include Sherburn, a village with a traditional linear layout along a main road. The local economy is tied to farming, tourism, and commuting to nearby larger towns. A notable feature is the Hunmanby Gap, a coastal access point leading directly from the village to a stretch of beach, bypassing the more developed resort areas.
