The village and civil parish of Holme upon Spalding Moor sits on the low-lying, drained peat and clay of the old Spalding Moor in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Historically agricultural with medieval roots, the settlement still centres on its parish church and a handful of traditional buildings; the flat, open landscape gives long views that contrast with the nearby Yorkshire Wolds and underlines the area’s distinctive moorland character.
Today the parish mixes working farms with a commuter element travelling to larger towns and Hull, while village life is sustained by a pub, a village hall, a primary school and a range of community groups and annual events. Small rural businesses and conservation-minded management of former wetlands contribute to the local economy and to preserving the parish’s heritage and natural interest.
