Places to stay in Willerby
Willerby is a village and civil parish located on the western outskirts
of the city of Kingston upon Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
Willerby was a minor settlement up to the 20th century, during which it
became a suburb of Kingston upon Hull, and its urban development extended
southeastwards towards Hull.
The village centre is located about 5 miles west of Kingston upon Hull
city centre and lies outside the city boundary. As of 2012 the village
of Willerby forms an outermost western suburb of Kingston upon Hull, separated
by non-agricultural green space including allotments, playing fields,
and Springhead Park golf club.
In the second half of the 20th century urban development became contiguous
between the villages of Willerby, Kirk Ella to the south, and Anlaby to
the southeast.
The northern half of the parish remains in agricultural use, and includes
Haltemprice Priory farm, which contains archaeological remnants of the
Augustinian Haltemprice Priory.
