Location

The village of Hensall is located just south of the River Aire, and lies in an area known as the Humberhead Levels. The Levels are characterised by flat, low-lying land, formed at the end of the Ice Age. Due to its proximity to a river, and the flat land it occupies, the village has been suited to arable farming.

Layout

Hensall is a detached village, meaning there are a number of separate areas to the community. The core of the village is built around Main Street, while three outlying parts are separated from the centre by farmland. Main Street forms a loop that makes up the village core, with the Post Office, the Methodist Church and the local Italian restaurant.
