Walkington is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire in England, lying a few miles south of Beverley and within commuting distance of Hull. Set on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds, it sits among arable farmland with a classic village green, a parish church and a handful of pubs that give it a compact, rural character.
Historically the community grew from agricultural roots and retains a number of period cottages and 18th–19th century buildings; today the local economy mixes farming with commuters to nearby towns. Social life centres on the village hall, the primary school and local clubs and events, giving Walkington a strong, neighbourly feel popular with families and older residents.
