Map of the UK

Burton Agnes is a small village and civil parish in the heart of the East Riding of Yorkshire, set on the gentle slopes of the Yorkshire Wolds and a short drive from the east coast. The landscape is characteristically rolling chalk countryside and arable farmland, with market towns such as Bridlington and Driffield within easy reach, giving the village a quiet, rural feel while remaining connected to local services.

Historically the settlement dates back to the medieval period and takes its distinctive name from an early landholder; its chief focal point today is the fine Elizabethan Burton Agnes Hall and its gardens, which attract visitors and host events. The local economy remains largely agricultural, supplemented by tourism and a close-knit village community centred on the church, village hall and pub, preserving much of its historic character alongside modest modern amenities.
