About Kilpin Parish Council

Kilpin is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 2.5 miles (4 km) north east of Goole town centre and about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south east of Howden.

The civil parish is formed by the villages of Kilpin and Kilpin Pike and the hamlets of Balkholme ,Belby, Howdendyke and Skelton. According to the 2001 UK census, Kilpin parish had a population of 357. (Wikipedia).

As with all the villages around here, the roads are a pleasure to cycle or ride. They are usually free of traffic and surrounded on all sides by trees.

Skelton in days gone by , was served by two shops and a pub (The Jolly Sailor) but these no longer exist. There is now just one working farm and many of the gaps which were once fields have been filled in with houses. As you enter the village from Howden all the houses bar two (located at the swing bridge) lie on the left (north to south) with the river Ouse on the right. The Hull to Doncaster railway crosses the river at Skelton via the huge Goole Swing Bridge. At the far end of the village lies the Sandhall Estate.

  • A country road lined with trees displaying autumn foliage, featuring a mix of green, yellow, and orange leaves. The road curves gently, bordered by grassy fields under a clear blue sky. A distant building is visible on the horizon.
  • A barn owl with speckled brown and white plumage perches on a mossy branch. Its head is slightly turned, showing its distinct heart-shaped face. The background is a blurred green field under a dim sky.
  • A close-up of a young deer facing the camera with large ears and soft brown fur. The background is a blurred mix of green foliage and branches.
  • A barn owl is flying through the air with its wings spread wide. The background is blurred, showing hints of trees, suggesting it is in a natural setting. The sky is clear and blue.
  • A small owl with speckled feathers perches on a wooden post in the rain. The background is blurred with shades of green, enhancing the bird's features.

As the site develops we hope it will become the local access point for Kilpin related matters and Local Authority services.
