The ward covers the villages of Appleton Roebuck and Church Fenton, set in gently rolling arable countryside just south of York in North Yorkshire. It has a distinctly rural feel with compact village centres, working farmland and good rail and road links that make it attractive to commuters heading into York and Leeds.
Church Fenton is locally notable for its airfield, a former RAF station now used for civilian flying and events, while Appleton Roebuck retains a strong village identity with historic buildings, community groups, pubs and local clubs.
