Burstwick is a small rural village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, sitting on the low-lying, fertile plain of Holderness a few miles east of Kingston upon Hull and close to the Humber Estuary. The landscape is dominated by arable farmland and drained marsh, giving the area a strong agricultural character, though many residents commute into Hull for work.
Historically the village has medieval roots, with earthworks of a motte-and-bailey castle and the parish church forming local landmarks. Community life is typical of a small Yorkshire village, centred on the village hall, local pub and occasional events, combining a quiet, close-knit social scene with the wider services and cultural draw of nearby towns.
