Dialling code: 01377 (Driffield)

Kirkburn is a small village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, set on the rolling chalk of the Yorkshire Wolds a few miles west of the market town of Driffield and within easy reach of the coast at Bridlington. The landscape of arable fields, hedgerows and quiet lanes gives it a distinctly rural character popular with walkers and those seeking a countryside base.

Life in the parish remains largely agricultural, centred on a close-knit local community with a village church and hall; the area has also produced notable archaeological finds that speak to long-standing human settlement. Historic buildings, straightforward farming economy and good links to nearby towns make it a typical yet quietly interesting Wolds parish with a strong local identity.
