About

Wyresdale ward encompasses a largely rural portion of the Wyre district in Lancashire. Its landscape is characterised by agricultural land, small settlements, and areas of woodland. The ward includes the villages of Scorton and Calder Vale, which serve as local centres within the wider parish. The geography is influenced by the eastern fringes of the Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The area contains several reservoirs, including Barnacre and Grizedale Lea, which are key features of the local environment. These bodies of water, constructed for water supply, now also contribute to the area's recreational use. Land use is primarily focused on farming and forestry. The ward's structure is defined by scattered communities connected by narrow country lanes, with a distinct separation from the more urban coastal settlements of the borough.
