Welcome to Ryedale
Ryedale nestles between York
and the Heritage Coastline of North Yorkshire. The North York Moors
form the northern border of the District and the Yorkshire
Wolds the southern limit. Ryedale is a diverse and
beautiful area of spectacular scenery, bustling market towns, dale
and hill farms, and picturesque villages.
Ryedale takes its name from the River
Rye which, together with the River Derwent, forms much of the
geographical character of the District. Both rivers rise in the
North York Moors and join near Malton and Norton, eventually
draining into the Humber.
