Lockington is a small village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, set amidst the gentle, arable landscape on the fringes of the Yorkshire Wolds. It sits within easy reach of market towns such as Beverley and the city of Hull, with the broad salt marshes of the Humber Estuary not far to the south; the setting gives a mix of rolling countryside and practical links to larger centres.
Historically a rural, farming community, Lockington retains a quiet village feel with a parish church and a handful of listed buildings reflecting its medieval and agricultural past. Today the local economy is still largely agricultural but many residents commute to nearby towns for work, and social life revolves around typical village institutions such as the parish council, village hall and occasional community events.
