Ferriby Sluice is a tiny riverside settlement on the south bank of the Humber in North Lincolnshire, England, sitting where the River Ancholme meets the Humber Estuary. Its name comes from the sluice and flood-control structures that manage drainage and navigation here, and the spot feels more like an industrial-edged estuary mouth than a conventional village.
The wider area has a mix of wildlife-rich mudflats and saltmarsh important for migrating birds and the working Humber ports; nearby South Ferriby historically hosted a cement works that shaped the local economy, while famous prehistoric "Ferriby boats" found near North Ferriby underline the long maritime connection. Today it’s a quiet, windswept place favoured by walkers and birdwatchers, with the distant hum of shipping and industry as a constant reminder of the estuary’s commercial role.
