Leconfield in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England is a small, rural village and civil parish a few miles from the market town of Beverley, sitting on the agricultural plain that meets the rolling slopes of the Yorkshire Wolds. It has a compact, village feel with farmland and hedgerows surrounding modest local amenities, and community life often centres on the village hall, church and local groups.
The village is best known for the former airfield, RAF Leconfield, which played a notable role in the Second World War and in later military aviation history; that military heritage continues to influence the local economy and identity alongside farming. Leconfield also has historic buildings and a quiet, close-knit social scene typical of rural East Yorkshire.
