Ellerby is a small rural civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, made up mainly of the twin settlements of Great Ellerby and Little Ellerby. It sits amid the fertile, low-lying farmland typical of the area, with a landscape that appeals to walkers and anyone after a quiet country setting not far from the Yorkshire coast.
The name traces back to Old Norse roots meaning an "alder farm", reflecting the long rural history of the place. Local life is shaped by agriculture and a handful of small-scale businesses, with many residents commuting into nearby towns such as Hull and Beverley. Architecturally it retains traditional farmhouses and cottages, and the community is small and tight-knit, centred on village social life rather than commercial amenities.
