About

The Rural West York ward encompasses a large area of open countryside on the western fringe of the city. It contains several distinct villages, including Dunnington, Holtby, and Stockton on the Forest, which maintain their own identities and community hubs. The landscape is primarily agricultural, with arable fields and farmsteads defining the views. This ward provides a significant green buffer, with its boundaries reaching the outer suburbs of York.

The area is characterised by quiet lanes, historic parish churches, and traditional village pubs. A notable feature is the Askham Bog nature reserve, a surviving fragment of ancient fenland with rare plant species. Transport links include the York Outer Ring Road, which forms part of the ward's southern boundary. The ward's economy is largely based on farming, alongside commuter populations connected to the city centre.
