Hook is a quiet, linear village that sits on the western bank of the River Ouse, just a mile or so upstream from the inland port of Goole. Its history is tied closely to the water; long before the Victorian expansion of the neighbouring docks, Hook was an agricultural hamlet where life revolved around the river and the fertile soil of the surrounding Marshlands. Today, the village retains its own distinct identity, centered around the Memorial Hall and St Mary’s Church, a building that dates back to the 13th century but was largely restored in the 1800s. It is a practical spot for those who work in the region, offering a slower pace of life while being close enough to Goole for supermarkets, the train station, and easy access to the M62. The landscape here is characteristically flat, defined by wide skies and the high river embankment, which provides a popular walking route with views across the Ouse towards Skelton and the nearby railway swing bridge.
