Description and Travel

Saxby is both a village and a parish 5 miles south of Barton on Humber. To the north is Horkstow parish and to the south is Bonby parish. The parish covers about 2,400 acres.

The village sits in a small vale in the Wolds overlooking the Ancholme River valley. If you are planning a visit:

• By automobile, take the B1204 arterial road south out of South Ferriby or north out of Brigg.
  
  
• Stop by the Village Hall next to the church and get a schedule of up-coming activities.
  
  
• The Village has been designated a Conservation Area to preserve as much of local "colour" as possible.
  
  
• Visit our touring page for more sources.
