Howden is a small historic market town and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, set beside the winding River Ouse. Its skyline is dominated by the medieval Minster, noted for its impressive tower and surviving carved choir stalls, and the town retains a compact core of timber-framed and Georgian buildings that speak to its long market-town past.
Surrounded by agricultural land, the parish has a quiet, community feel while serving as a local hub with shops, pubs and regular events; many residents commute to nearby centres such as Hull, Selby and Goole. The conservation-minded town attracts walkers and history enthusiasts drawn to its riverside setting and historic architecture rather than heavy industry.
