About

Settle & Penyghent ward encompasses a significant area of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, characterised by its upland limestone landscape. The market town of Settle acts as the main hub, with its historic buildings centred around the marketplace and railway station, which is on the famous Settle-Carlisle line. The surrounding countryside is defined by dry stone walls, sheep-grazed pastures, and scattered farmsteads.

The ward is dominated by the iconic, flat-topped peak of Pen-y-ghent, one of the Three Peaks, which attracts walkers and forms a constant backdrop. This is a sparsely populated area of caves, scars, and moorland, where traditional farming and tourism are key. The dramatic limestone gorge of Stockdale Lane cuts through the terrain, leading towards remote hamlets like Horton in Ribblesdale.
