About

North Richmondshire is a large rural ward in the northern Yorkshire Dales, characterised by expansive moorland and agricultural valleys. The area includes the market town of Richmond, which sits above a steep bend in the River Swale. The landscape is defined by rolling hills, scattered farmsteads, and historic field systems, with the Pennine foothills rising to the west.

The ward contains several smaller villages such as Marske and Downholme, connected by narrow country lanes. A notable feature is the presence of the prominent Early Warning radar station at RAF Fylingdales on the high moorland, a modern structure with a distinct geometric form. The economy remains closely tied to farming, forestry, and local tourism centred on the Dales.
