Bainton is a small village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, tucked onto the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds. The landscape is typical Wolds countryside - rolling chalk hills, arable farmland and limestone or brick cottages - and the village sits within easy driving distance of Pocklington and Market Weighton, so many residents commute while still enjoying a rural outlook and good local walking routes.
Historically the settlement has medieval roots and retains a parish church and a number of listed buildings, which give it a quietly historic feel; local life revolves around agricultural activity, community events in the village hall and occasional fetes, with conservation interests helping preserve the distinctive character of the surrounding Wolds.
