Parish in East Riding of Yorkshire, England

OS grid ref:SE 93 63
Dialling code: 01377 (Driffield)

Sledmere sits on the rolling chalk hills of the Yorkshire Wolds in the East Riding of Yorkshire, giving wide, open views and a patchwork of arable fields, hedgerows and woodlands. The skyline is punctuated by estate landmarks such as Sledmere House and the nearby Sledmere Monument, set within parkland and downland that draw walkers and photographers.

The historic estate has long shaped local life: once the seat of a landed family it still supports farming, conservation and rural businesses while opening parts of the house and gardens to visitors, contributing to a modest tourist trade and local events. Today the area remains a small agricultural community with traditional village rhythms, seasonal shows and a strong sense of heritage linked to nearby market towns such as Driffield.
