A quiet agricultural village east of Pocklington, close to Hayton, Nunburnholme and the lower slopes of the Wolds.
Burnby is a small East Riding village east of Pocklington, close to Hayton and Nunburnholme at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds.
Farms, cottages, the church and a lightly developed village road sit within open fields beneath the rising chalk slopes.
Burnby occupies a quiet position below the eastern Wolds, where the land begins to rise beyond the flatter fields around Hayton. Its modest scale keeps the church, farms and older houses central to the village's identity.
The settlement is separated from busier routes by open countryside, but it is not isolated from nearby communities. Nunburnholme, Warter and Hayton each provide a different route into the surrounding Wolds landscape.
