Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

The Howardian Hills AONB covers 204 sq km (79 sq miles) of the North Yorkshire countryside, nestled between the North York Moors National Park, the Yorkshire Wolds and the Vale of York. It is a unique and captivating landscape with its well-wooded rolling countryside, patchwork of arable and pasture fields, scenic villages and historic country houses with classic parkland landscapes.
On our website you can find out: why the landscape is of national importance; what the area looks like and what there is to see and do. You can also find out what is happening in the area and see examples of the work the AONB Joint Advisory Committee does to manage the sometimes conflicting issues.

Ryedale Community Transport

Getting you out and about again
If you have problems using pubic transport to go to medical appointments, shops, social and family occasions etc, we can help. Local volunteer drivers (some in Hovingham) can take you door-to-door and bring you back, in their own cars. For individuals and groups, we have mini-buses and wheelchair accessible vehicles. We also have self-drive mopeds for those needing to get to new jobs, training or education.
Call us for a chat. We’ll listen carefully to your needs and suggest the best way to help you remain independent in our very rural area.
We welcome new volunteers for this rewarding and highly-valued service. There is a mileage allowance and complete flexibility on the time you give. Call us and arrange to go out on a trip with one of our experienced drivers. Established in 1989. Reg Charity No.1109232
