Ferriby Sluice is a hamlet situated near the lock complex on the Humber and River Ancholme, Lincolnshire, England. It is now part of the village of South Ferriby but once stood alone in its own right. It is situated west of South Ferriby, physically separated from the bulk of the village, and once was the point of departure for the packet boats that used to ply the Humber.

Two mapped watercourses are about the same distance from the middle of Ferriby Sluice's gauges: New River Ancholme (about 10 m) and West Drain (about 40 m), so this page cannot say which one is nearer to you.
Distances along the river are from the point on each watercourse nearest the middle of Ferriby Sluice's gauges. From Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers), which leaves out small streams, ditches and culverts, so a nearer one may exist. This describes where water goes on the map; it says nothing about flooding at any address. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2026.
