The Humber is formed by the confluence of Yorkshire's River Ouse with the River Trent from the midlands near Faxfleet, about six miles east of the port of Goole.
The Yorkshire Wolds are formed by the most northerly limits of chalk in Britain and form rolling hills to the south of the Vale of Pickering and north of the low lying East Yorkshire district called Holderness.
The coastal boundary between East Yorkshire and North Yorkshire lies just to the north of Flamborough Head and just to the south of Filey in North Yorkshire (although Filey was traditionally in the East Riding of Yorkshire).
