A pocket-sized East Riding village where the River Aire meets the River Ouse, Airmyn takes its name from the Old Norse for "river mouth" and was a working port in the Middle Ages. Until the 18th century, its dead were carried upstream by boat to be buried at Snaith, the river route being faster than overland travel. Some listed heritage architecture survives in the area, and the village sits a short distance from Goole.
