Roos is a small village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, set on the low-lying Holderness plain close to the Humber Estuary and the North Sea coast. The surrounding landscape is largely agricultural, with arable fields punctuated by drainage channels; the coast and estuary nearby make the area of interest to birdwatchers and those interested in coastal processes, including the long-running issue of erosion around parts of Holderness.
Locally the community has a village hall, a parish church and a handful of traditional amenities that give it a quiet, rural character, while many residents commute to larger centres such as Hull or Grimsby for work and services. The village has medieval roots and a number of older buildings and farmsteads, so it appeals to visitors who like modest historic villages rather than tourist crowds.
