Barmby on the Marsh is a small village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, set on low-lying reclaimed marshland close to the north bank of the River Ouse as it feeds into the Humber. The landscape is flat and criss-crossed by drainage channels and flood banks, making it a good spot for estuarine birdlife and countryside walking rather than dramatic hills or urban bustle.
Historically shaped by land reclamation and drainage, the local economy remains largely agricultural with arable farms and some market gardening, although many people commute to nearby centres such as Goole and Howden. Community life is typical of a small village, and the presence of tidal flood risk and the associated defences are an enduring part of local identity and conversation.
