Howden South & Goole North

The Howden South and Goole North area in the East Riding of Yorkshire spans the market town of Howden and the northern parts of Goole. Howden sits beside the River Ouse and is centred on Howden Minster, a medieval parish church with a prominent tower. Goole lies downstream, where the river meets the docks and the Aire and Calder Navigation; the town operates as one of the UK's most inland seaports, handling river and sea-going traffic from quays and basins built in the 19th century.

Land use shifts quickly between town streets, docklands and agricultural fields on low-lying ground. Goole North includes dockside freight operations, canal cuttings and industrial estates; Howden South contains residential streets, a market and riverbank paths. Both places are linked into regional transport networks by road and rail, and local services support farming, logistics and small retail. Wildlife along the river margins and reed beds is visible from public footpaths running beside the Ouse.
