Holme upon Spalding Moor is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire in England, sitting on the slightly raised edge of the low-lying Spalding Moor. The surrounding landscape was once peat and marsh that has been drained and reclaimed, leaving a patchwork of arable and pastureland criss‑crossed by drainage ditches and country lanes.
The village retains a rural, community-focused character with a historic parish church and local amenities that act as a village hub. Historically its name reflects the idea of a "holm" or raised ground amid the moor, and today the local economy is largely agricultural with many residents also commuting to nearby towns; the quiet landscape and local history make it attractive to walkers and those interested in rural heritage.
