Fockerby Humberside Map

About Fockerby

Fockerby lies on the Lincolnshire Wolds, a gentle rise against the broader sweep of the Humber plain. It lies 7.9 km west of Winterton (from Winterton: bearing 276°T, OS grid SE 848 192), and is situated west-north-west of Garthorpe village. The land here, a fertile loam, has long been turned by the plough, yielding crops that glint under the wide, luminous skies of the East Riding. A quiet road winds through Fockerby, its tarmac softened by the moss that clings to the verges, a testament to the damp air that often drifts inland from the estuary. The low-slung farmhouses and cottages, built of weathered brick and pantile, seem to hunker down against the prevailing winds, their windows reflecting the soft, diffused light that characterises the region. Though small, Fockerby carries an enduring sense of place, a quiet dignity born of generations who have worked this yielding earth.
