About

Selby West is a residential district situated on the western edge of the town of Selby. The area is characterised by post-war and modern housing estates, providing homes for a significant portion of the town's population. Its layout is functional, with local shops and schools serving the community's daily needs. The district offers a practical living environment, closely connected to the town centre for more comprehensive services and employment opportunities.

The landscape here is largely flat, typical of the Vale of York, with the River Ouse flowing nearby. A notable feature is the proximity to the vast, flat fields that define the surrounding agricultural land. The area provides direct access to the Selby Canal, a quiet waterway popular for walking and fishing. This setting creates a distinct contrast between the residential streets and the open, rural vistas that begin just beyond the neighbourhood's boundaries.
