About

Woodlands ward encompasses a rural expanse in the eastern part of the North York Moors National Park. The landscape is characterised by rolling heather moorland, managed forestry plantations, and scattered farmsteads. The area includes the villages of Kildale and Commondale, which serve as small hubs within the wider parish. Land use is primarily agricultural and conservation-focused, with sheep farming being a common sight across the open fells.

A notable feature is the presence of the heritage North Yorkshire Moors Railway, whose steam trains traverse the northern edge of the ward, cutting through the moors near Kildale. The terrain includes distinct hills like Roseberry Topping, which lies just outside the boundary, and areas of ancient woodland in the valleys. The ward offers extensive public footpaths and bridleways for exploring this upland environment.
