Parish in East Riding of Yorkshire, England

Coordinates:53.732, -0.003
OS grid ref:TA 31 28
Dialling code: 01964 (Hornsea)

Rimswell is a small, quiet civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, sitting on the low-lying agricultural expanse of the Holderness plain a few miles east of Hull and close to the North Sea coast. The settlement is made up of scattered farms and cottages rather than a dense village centre, and its flat, open landscape gives long views across arable fields toward the coast.

Historically the area has been shaped by farming, drainage and the challenges of coastal change, and that agricultural heritage still defines much of local life. Social and cultural activity tends to centre on nearby larger villages and market towns, while visitors and residents appreciate the peaceful rural character, birdlife and opportunities for walks across the surrounding countryside.
