South West Holderness

About

South West Holderness is a predominantly rural ward located on the flat, low-lying plain of the Holderness peninsula. Its landscape is characterised by expansive agricultural fields, drainage ditches, and scattered farmsteads, with the land gradually sloping towards the Humber Estuary to the south. The area includes the villages of Skeffling, Welwick, and Patrington, the latter being a larger settlement with a notable medieval church known as the 'Queen of Holderness'.

The ward's southern boundary is formed by the dynamic coastline of the Humber Estuary, where significant areas of saltmarsh and mudflat provide important habitats for birdlife. This is part of the Humber Estuary conservation area. The local economy is largely based on arable farming, with the land's fertility being a defining feature. The area feels remote, with a network of quiet, straight lanes connecting the isolated communities across the open fields.
