Parish in East Riding of Yorkshire, England

Dialling code: 01759 (Pocklington)

Bielby is a small rural parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, a few miles from the market town of Howden. Set on low-lying agricultural land, it remains a dispersed community of farms, cottages and converted farm buildings, with many residents employed in farming or commuting to larger centres such as York and Hull.

The settlement has medieval roots and a tangible local history reflected in traditional stone and brick buildings and old field patterns; community life is quiet and close-knit, with local events and village networks rather than many services, so people generally rely on neighbouring towns for shops, schools and rail links. It appeals to those seeking countryside living with easy access to the market towns and wider historic landscapes of Yorkshire.
