Our Area
Our predominantly rural area includes the land from York to the east coast, and from the River Humber up to the North York Moors National Park. “Derwent” refers to the southern part of North Yorkshire. Our delightful range of countryside includes:

▪ the undulating chalk Wolds with their hidden valleys,

▪ rich agricultural land in the Vale of York, the Plain of Holderness, and the rolling Howardian Hills,

▪ a fine coastline from Spurn Point, via Bempton cliffs with its sea-bird colonies, up to Scarborough,

▪ historic towns like Beverley, Driffield, Malton, Pocklington, and of course, the cities of York and Hull,

▪ and, next to our northern boundary, the magnificent North York Moors.

If you are travelling to the area, there are good train links via York and Hull and easy road access via the M62 and A1.  There is a regular ferry service from Hull to Rotterdam and Zeebrugge.
