The Driffield Navigation is an 11-mile (18 km) waterway through the heart of the Holderness Plain to the market town of Driffield East Riding of Yorkshire England. The northern section of it is a canal and the southern section is part of the River Hull. Construction was authorised in 1767 and it was fully open in 1770. Early use of the navigation was hampered by a small bridge at Hull Bridge which was maintained by Beverley Corporation.
