About

Pocklington sits on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds, a market town with a long history centred on its broad main street and historic church. The area is primarily agricultural, with farmland giving way to the gentle chalk hills and dry valleys characteristic of the Wolds landscape. The Pocklington Canal, a restored waterway, runs south from the town towards the River Derwent, offering a linear route for walking and wildlife.

The town operates as a local service hub for the surrounding rural communities. Its grammar school, founded in 1514, is a longstanding institution. A notable local event is the annual Pocklington Rugby Club Fireworks Display, one of the largest in the region. The area's topography is defined by the western slope of the Wolds, placing it at a transition between the low Vale of York and the rising uplands.
