Bubwith

Bubwith is a small village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, sitting on the east bank of the River Derwent and close to the market towns of Howden and Selby. The settlement follows the river and the main road through the area, giving it a mix of riverside character and straightforward road links that make it both a local service centre and a quiet commuter community.

Historically it grew from agricultural roots and that still shapes the local economy, with arable and livestock farming in the surrounding countryside. The village retains a compact centre with traditional buildings, a pub or two, shops and community facilities such as a village hall and school, and a very active local life centred on seasonal events and river-related leisure; the River Derwent and nearby bridges have long been important to its sense of place and history.
