Bedale is an electoral ward in the district of Hambleton, North Yorkshire, England. It sits on the fringe of the Yorkshire Dales beside a small river valley and benefits from good road links to the A1(M) and the heritage Wensleydale Railway at Leeming Bar, so the area feels rural but well connected.
The ward is centred on the historic market town of Bedale, with a Georgian market square, independent shops and an agricultural tradition; tourism for Dales walking, a nearby military presence around Catterick Garrison and RAF Leeming, and commuting to places such as Ripon, Harrogate and York all help shape the local economy and social mix.
