About

Wharfedale ward encompasses a large rural area in the North Yorkshire Dales, centred around the valley of the River Wharfe. The landscape is characterised by rolling hills, farmland, and scattered stone-built villages such as Addingham, Burley-in-Wharfedale, and Ilkley. The ward includes a significant portion of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, with Ilkley Moor forming a prominent backdrop to the south.

The area is known for its walking trails, including a section of the Dales Way long-distance path that follows the river. A notable feature is the series of ancient 'cup and ring' carvings found on rocks across Ilkley Moor, marking prehistoric activity. Local economy is a mix of agriculture, tourism, and commuting to larger towns like Leeds and Bradford.
