Burstwick is a small village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, set on the low-lying agricultural plain of Holderness and not far from the Humber Estuary. The surrounding landscape is characterised by open arable fields, drainage channels and a rural feel, with many residents commuting to nearby Hull or Beverley for work and services.
The village has historic interest - including the earthwork remains of Burstwick Castle, a medieval motte-and-bailey site - and retains a parish church, a village hall, a pub and a primary school, reflecting a close-knit community. The mix of farming economy, coastal influences and surviving historic features gives Burstwick a distinctly rural Holderness character.
