South Ferriby is a small riverside village in North Lincolnshire, sitting on the south bank of the Humber estuary close to where the River Ancholme meets the tidal waters. The village is set against chalk cliffs and saltmarsh, giving it a distinctive coastal landscape that attracts walkers and birdwatchers; the name "Ferriby" reflects an Old Norse origin tied to a historic ferry crossing, and the wider Ferriby area is also associated with famous Bronze Age boat finds at North Ferriby.
Economically the settlement has long been shaped by chalk quarrying and cement production alongside traditional agriculture and estuary trade, while socially it retains a small, close-knit community feel with riverside footpaths and wildlife interest. Its mix of industrial heritage, natural habitat and quiet village life makes it typical of the Humber’s south-bank settlements.
