Wharfedale is an electoral ward in North Yorkshire, England, covering part of the attractive river valley carved by the River Wharfe. The landscape runs from riverside meadows and stone-built villages to steeper upland moors on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, making it popular with walkers, cyclists and people seeking a rural lifestyle.
Economically the ward combines traditional hill farming and small independent businesses with a sizeable commuter population travelling to nearby centres such as Leeds and Harrogate. Local life is marked by conservation areas, historic stone architecture and a modest tourism trade centred on outdoor recreation and village hospitality.
