Broomfleet

Broomfleet is a small civil parish on the low-lying agricultural plain of the East Riding of Yorkshire, set close to the salt marshes and waterways of the Humber estuary. The area is characterised by flat arable fields, drainage ditches and reedbeds, which make the parish notable for wintering and migratory birdlife and for the engineered flood defences of the Humber hinterland.

Locally it feels like a close‑knit village community surrounded by working farms, with a handful of historic buildings and a modest parish church reflecting its agricultural past. The economy remains largely rural, though many residents commute to nearby centres such as Hull and Goole, and the village is served by a local railway halt that links it into the wider region; the marshes and birdlife provide a steady source of interest for walkers and naturalists.
