Paull is a small riverside village and civil parish on the north bank of the Humber in the East Riding of Yorkshire, a low-lying, reclaimed landscape of marshes, saltings and sea defences with wide views across to Spurn Point and Kingston upon Hull. The settlement is noted for its riverside military heritage - the 19th-century Paull Fort and earlier gun batteries - and the evocative ruin of Paull Holme Tower, a medieval brick tower set among the marshes.
Life in Paull mixes agricultural and maritime traditions with modern links to nearby industry at Saltend and commuting into Kingston upon Hull. The estuary landscape attracts birdwatchers and walkers, and the village retains a quiet community feel shaped by its long relationship with the river and its role guarding an important shipping approach.
