About

Skipton North & Embsay-with-Eastby ward lies at the northern edge of the market town of Skipton, blending urban edges with the rural fringes of the Yorkshire Dales. The area includes residential neighbourhoods and the historic settlement of Embsay, which is anchored by its Norman-era church. The ward's landscape is characterised by rolling farmland and the prominent presence of Embsay Crag, a distinctive gritstone outcrop that rises sharply above the village.

The area is defined by its transport links and historical industry, with the preserved Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway running through the ward. This heritage line operates from Embsay station, a focus for local tourism and community events. Land use is primarily agricultural, with pockets of housing extending from Skipton's centre towards the open moorland of the Dales, marking a clear transition from town to countryside.
