About

Snaith sits on the western edge of the East Riding of Yorkshire, bordering North Yorkshire. The town is positioned near the confluence of the River Aire and the River Went, with its history closely tied to these waterways. The surrounding landscape is primarily flat, agricultural land, characteristic of the wider Humberhead Levels.

The parish church of St Lawrence dates from the 12th century and dominates the town's skyline. A former port, the area's economy was historically linked to river trade and milling. Local geography is defined by drainage channels and flood defences, which are a persistent feature of life on these low-lying carrs.
