About

Newby ward encompasses a largely rural expanse on the southwestern outskirts of Scarborough. The area is defined by a mix of agricultural land, residential estates, and the prominent landmark of Oliver's Mount. This modest hill offers panoramic views over the town and the coast, with a public road circuit used for motorsport events.

The ward includes the distinct residential suburb of Newby and stretches to the edges of the Yorkshire Wolds. Land use is primarily given over to farming, with pockets of newer housing development. The terrain slopes gently from the higher ground down towards the urban fringe, creating a clear transition from countryside to town.
