Parish in East Riding of Yorkshire, England

Coordinates:53.737, -0.906
OS grid ref:SE 72 27
Dialling code: 01405 (Goole)

Asselby is a small village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, set on the flat agricultural plain close to the River Ouse and the wetland fringes of the Humber Estuary. It sits a few miles from market towns such as Howden and Goole, with a low population and a landscape much shaped by drainage, dykes and mixed arable and pasture farming.

Locally the community is typical of small East Yorkshire villages: largely agricultural with many people commuting to nearby centres. The rivers and marshes nearby make the area attractive to birdwatchers and walkers, while old farmhouses and country lanes hint at a long rural past and a quiet, close‑knit social life.
