Hedon is a small market town in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, a few miles east of Kingston upon Hull and close to the Humber Estuary. It sits on gently rolling countryside and acts as a local centre for surrounding villages while remaining within easy commuting distance of Hull.
Historically Hedon grew as a medieval port and chartered market town, although its waterfront trade diminished as the haven silted up; the town still retains a compact historic core with older buildings and a traditional market feel. Today the economy is a mix of local shops, small businesses and residents who work in Hull, and the place is noted for its community events and quiet, well-preserved streets reflecting its long past.
