Ryedale District Council Mission Statement Ryedale District Council have several key strategies which work collaboratively in delivery of activity outcomes. Two strategic documents that underpin the work of the council are; 1. The Ryedale District Council Business Plan 2017 – 2022 Vision: “The vision for Ryedale District Council is to continue doing what matters for Ryedale.” 2. Ryedale District Council Leisure Strategy 2013 - 2023 Vision: “To improve the quality of sport and active recreation opportunities for people in the area.” This Active Community Plan will continue to build on strong partnerships in the Ryedale district which align Everyone Active and Ryedale district Council strategic priorities set within localised strategies such as; The Business Plan, Leisure Strategy, and County Health and Wellbeing Strategies. This Active Community Plan has been produced in line with research on the localised need for physical activity ensuring all partners work together to deliver the expectations. The integration of the Public Health and Primary Care sector is hugely important to build upon previous and current work that has been undertaken, and provide support and resources to compliment future development of delivering community based outcomes. Greater collaboration and use of resources will be fundamental to the success of this plan. All organisations involved in the development of this document have an important role to play in achieving the outcomes that are needed for the improved health and wellbeing of the District and will be very much a part of the success of the improved wellbeing of its communities. 3 Section 2: The Bigger Picture National Influencers There are several key policies and national campaigns that influence the development of the Ryedale District Active Community Plan.

The Register provides an Wannual snapshot of historic sites known to be at risk from neglect, decay or inappropriate development. Nationally, there are more barrows on the Register than any other type of site. The main risk to their survival is ploughing. The good news is that since 2014 we have reduced the number of barrows at risk by over 130, by working with owners and, in particular, Natural England to improve their management. This picture is repeated in Yorkshire, where the greatest concentration of barrows at risk is in the rich farmland of the Wolds.

  • Yorkshire Coast & North York Moors
    Yorkshire Coast & North York Moors including the Howardian Hills Includes five OS mapped routes inside Flying high on Rosedale Bank Top Steam train in Newtondale Great days... outdoors The dramatic cliffs and sheltered coves of the rugged North Yorkshire coast define the eastern edge of the most extensive swathe of heather moorland in England, cared for since 1952 as the North York Moors National Park. Dissected by distinctive dales and with an abundance of forest and woodland, including the enchanting Dalby – the Great Yorkshire Forest, it’s an inspirational place for an active break or longer holiday enjoying an unrivalled choice of fresh air adventures. Accessible by train, the well known seaside resorts of Whitby, Scarborough and Filey are good jumping off points for both coastal and inland exploration. The ancient market town of Pickering lies at the southern end of a rather special steam railway that transports you into the heart of the North York Moors (and onward to Whitby). Kirkbymoorside, Helmsley, Osmotherley, Great Ayton, Guisborough and Saltburn all make good bases depending on your blend of activities, as do numerous fishing and other picturesque villages. Stretching out from the south western corner of the North York Moors, and not far from York, are the more gently rolling Howardian Hills. Designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in 1987, its woodlands, pastures and historic houses in parkland settings (good for rest and rainy days), offer their share of easier routes to try. Malton market town has a station from which to enter this hidden area. Our efforts to revive your body, mind and spirit don’t stop there.
