Built-up area in East Riding of Yorkshire, England

Population:834

Pollington is a small village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, a few miles west of the port town of Goole and close to Snaith. It sits in the flat, low-lying landscape of the Humberhead Levels, surrounded by arable farms and pasture; agriculture still dominates the local economy while many residents commute to nearby industry and the docks.

The village is also linked to wartime history through the nearby airfield RAF Snaith, a former Bomber Command base whose remains and memories form part of the local story. Today Pollington retains a quiet, rural community feel with modest village amenities and easy access for walkers and those seeking countryside within reach of larger towns.
