Goxhill, Barrow & New Holland

About

Goxhill, Barrow, and New Holland are villages in North Lincolnshire, situated near the Humber Estuary. The area is known for its flat, rural landscapes and agricultural land, with scattered woodlands and drainage channels. New Holland has a small ferry terminal that once connected to Hull, though it is now primarily used for leisure. The villages are linked by quiet country roads, with views across the estuary and nearby industrial sites.

The Humber Bridge, one of the UK’s longest suspension bridges, is visible from parts of the area, connecting North Lincolnshire to East Yorkshire. Barrow is the largest of the three villages, with local amenities including shops and pubs, while Goxhill retains a quieter, more residential feel. The surrounding marshland and waterways attract birdlife, making it a spot for nature observation. The area’s history includes farming and maritime trade, with remnants of older industries still present in the landscape.
