About Kilpin Parish Council

Kilpin is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of YorkshireEngland. 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.
