About

The Poppleton, Rufforth & Askham area sits on the western edge of the City of York and includes the twin villages of Upper and Nether Poppleton beside the River Ouse. Nether Poppleton has a station on the Harrogate Line, which provides a direct rail link into York. Floodplain meadows and riverbanks shape the local layout and there are lanes and footpaths that link the village cores with the surrounding farmland and hedgerows. Local buildings and village greens mark the historic settlement pattern rather than modern estate development.

To the west lie Rufforth and the pair of Askham villages. Rufforth Airfield, adapted from a former RAF base, hosts small-aircraft activity and training. Askham Bryan is home to an agricultural college with a working farm used for teaching and research, and Askham Richard retains a compact village plan with lanes connecting arable fields and pastures. Parish halls, sports pitches and networked country lanes support rural life while the area remains within easy reach of York for daily travel.
