About

Osbaldwick & Derwent is a residential ward on the eastern edge of York, characterised by modern housing developments and older village cores. The area encompasses the distinct communities of Osbaldwick, Murton, and Dunnington, each with their own local facilities and green spaces. The University of York's East Campus is a significant presence here, contributing to the population. Housing is primarily suburban, with a mix of detached homes and newer estates, serving as a commuter base for the city centre.

The Derwent name references the river forming the ward's eastern boundary, separating it from the East Riding of Yorkshire. This rural fringe contains working farmland and the Askham Bog nature reserve, a lowland peat bog noted for its rare flora. The area is defined by this contrast between expanding suburban settlement and protected wetland landscapes, with the York Outer Ring Road providing a major transport route through its northern section.
