About

Masham & Fountains ward is a large rural area in North Yorkshire, covering numerous villages and expansive farmland. It centres on the historic market town of Masham, known for its two breweries and a spacious market square. The ward extends to include the communities of Fearby, Healey, and Swinton, set within the undulating landscape of lower Wensleydale.

The area's name references the nearby Fountains Abbey, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, though the abbey ruins themselves lie just outside the ward's boundary. The River Ure flows through the ward, and the land is characterised by sheep pastures, wooded valleys, and quiet country lanes. This is a working agricultural landscape with a focus on livestock and local produce.
