Map of the UK

Guisborough is a ward centred on the historic market town in the unitary authority of Redcar and Cleveland, on the western edge of the Cleveland Hills in ceremonial North Yorkshire. The area sits beneath the distinctive cone of Roseberry Topping and beside Guisborough Forest, offering easy access to rolling countryside while remaining within reach of coastal towns and Middlesbrough.

Locally notable for the atmospheric ruins of Gisborough Priory and a strong industrial past tied to ironstone mining, the ward combines heritage with a service-led local economy of shops, light industry and commuting households. Community life is bolstered by markets, small festivals and outdoor pursuits, making it a place where rural character and post‑industrial history meet everyday town living.
