Rosedale West Side is a small, rural parish in North Yorkshire, sitting within the rolling heather and gritstone landscape of the North York Moors National Park. The parish occupies part of the long, narrow Rosedale valley with steep moorland sides, scattered farms and stone cottages, and a sense of wide open space that attracts walkers and wildlife watchers.

Its character is shaped by 19th‑century ironstone workings - the ruined stone calcining kilns and old tramways are striking pieces of industrial archaeology - but today the local economy is mainly sheep farming, small‑scale tourism and holiday lets. Social life is quiet and community‑minded, marked by agricultural traditions and outdoor events, and the area is popular with photographers, hill‑walkers and anyone wanting a peaceful slice of the moors.
