Cherry Burton Village
A Peaceful Village with Heart and History
Tucked just a few miles outside Beverley in East Yorkshire, Cherry Burton is one of those rare villages that quietly captures the essence of rural English life—picturesque, friendly, and steeped in local charm. Whether you’re passing through, relocating, or simply seeking a quieter corner of the countryside, Cherry Burton offers a unique blend of community, heritage, and natural beauty.
A Village with Strong Roots
Cherry Burton dates back to the Domesday Book and retains much of its historic character. Winding lanes, stone cottages, and open farmland define the area’s landscape, while the village green and parish church serve as central markers of local life. The Church of St Michael and All Angels, with its striking stained-glass windows and peaceful churchyard, remains an enduring symbol of the village’s heritage.
While it may appear sleepy on the surface, Cherry Burton has long been an active and closely connected community.
The local Pub The Bay Horse is a welcoming family-run village pub that is both family and dog-friendly.
A Place Where Community Matters
One of Cherry Burton’s greatest strengths is its sense of community. The village hall hosts regular events ranging from quiz nights to craft fairs and yoga sessions. It’s a place where new residents are welcomed, and old friends gather year after year.
Local organisations and clubs flourish here. The tennis courts, cricket club, and recreation field are well used, and children from surrounding areas attend the well-regarded Cherry Burton Primary School, which is known for its nurturing ethos and strong academic results.
Residents take pride in the upkeep of the village, with many volunteering their time to local causes, environmental projects, and community celebrations.
A Rural Setting with Practical Links
Despite its rural feel, Cherry Burton enjoys excellent proximity to Beverley, with all its amenities, shopping, and transport links. The short drive or bike ride to town means residents can enjoy the peace of the countryside without sacrificing access to the essentials.
There are regular bus services, and the surrounding roads make for scenic drives to nearby villages like Etton, Walkington, or South Dalton. Hull, York, and the Yorkshire Wolds are also within easy reach, making Cherry Burton a well-placed base for both locals and visitors.
A Café at the Heart of the Village
A newer addition to village life is the Pearl & Oyster Café, located at Cherry Burton Leisure Park. With its fresh coffee, homemade cakes, and welcoming atmosphere, the café has quickly become a favourite meeting spot for locals of all ages.
It opens early for those seeking a warm drink and a bite to eat before a walk, and its comfortable seating and quiet setting make it especially popular among retired residents looking for a relaxing place to read the paper or catch up with friends.
The café also hosts occasional events, seasonal specials, and offers a cosy view of the surrounding countryside.
A Village That Balances Tradition and Change
Cherry Burton is not frozen in time, but it grows gently and thoughtfully. New homes have been added over the years, bringing new faces into the fold, while long-time residents maintain the traditions and character that make the village so special.
The balance here is just right—between nature and community, between peace and connection, and between the old and the new.
Final Thoughts
Cherry Burton might not shout for attention, but that’s part of its charm. It’s a place where neighbours know each other, where life moves at a slower pace, and where the countryside truly feels like home. Whether you’re walking the quiet lanes, enjoying a cake at the café, or watching the sun set over the fields, Cherry Burton offers something increasingly rare: space to breathe and a community that cares.
