About

Wheldrake ward encompasses a rural area southeast of York, centred on the village of Wheldrake itself. The landscape is dominated by agricultural land and the flat, low-lying terrain of the Vale of York. The ward includes the smaller settlements of Thorganby and Crockey Hill, maintaining a distinctively agricultural character with a network of local farms and country lanes.

A defining feature is the ward's proximity to the Lower Derwent Valley, a nationally significant wetland habitat. The area includes sections of the Derwent Ings, traditional flood meadows that provide important grounds for breeding and overwintering birds. This environmental designation shapes much of the land management and contributes to the area's quiet, open atmosphere, with the river Derwent forming a natural boundary.
