Patrington Haven is a hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, in an area known as Holderness. It is situated approximately 8miles south-east of the town of Hedon and 1miles south-west of the village of Patrington.
It forms part of the civil parish of Patrington and was historically called Havenside and had a port on the haven, an arm of water that stretched south towards the North Channel of the Humber estuary (now known as Winestead Drain).[1] The port was closed in 1869 due to siltation of the channels which made the watercourses not able to be navigated by boats.[2] The hamlet has a pub called the Burns Head that is directly opposite the village green with the pond stocked with fish
The village of Patrington just 1miles away is dominated by its church known locally as "The Queen of Holderness".[3] Surrounding the church are four public houses, and a fifth public house in Patrington Haven itself.In Patrington Haven is an established 5 Star Award Winning Leisure Park called "Patrington Haven Leisure Park".[4] The leisure park was established around 1985 when the RAF Station Patrington closed and the land purchased by the leisure park. In June 2013 a memorial sculpture to the RAF station was unveiled at the site.[5]
The village was visited by the Beatles in November 1963[6] before playing a gig in nearby Hull. The fab four enjoyed a pint and sing-song in the Burns Head pub before returning to Hull.
Spurn Point with its bird sanctuary is supported by the RSPB and is a few miles south-east of Patrington Haven village.[7]
