Map of the UK

The village and civil parish of Bishop Burton sits in the rolling chalk landscape of the Yorkshire Wolds in the East Riding of Yorkshire, a few miles west of Beverley and within easy reach of Hull. The surrounding countryside of arable fields, hedgerows and quiet lanes makes it popular for walking and cycling and gives the area a distinctly rural character.

Historically centred on a longstanding estate with a Georgian hall and the parish church of St Mary's, Bishop Burton now combines traditional farming with education and equestrian pursuits: Bishop Burton College and the estate’s riding and events activity are important locally, supporting a small, close-knit community and a local economy rooted in land-based study, agriculture and rural tourism.
