Carnaby is a small, rural parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, lying a few miles south of Bridlington on the low-lying Holderness plain close to the North Sea. The landscape is largely agricultural - arable fields, hedgerows and quiet lanes - and many locals look to nearby Bridlington for shops and services, giving Carnaby a gently village-like character rather than a tourist feel.
The area is best known for the wartime legacy of RAF Carnaby, one of the emergency landing strips built in the Second World War for crippled bombers; the wide runway scars remain and the airfield has since been used for industrial and commercial purposes. That mix of rural farming life, coastal proximity and a visible piece of 20th-century history makes Carnaby an understated but interesting corner of the East Riding.
