[2] It is bordered to the east by the Swinefleet Warping Drain, to the south by the Blackwater Dike, and to the west by the railway line from Goole to Doncaster.

[3] Goole Fields is in the north-western sector of the marshes of Hatfield Chase drained by the Netherlands civil engineer Cornelius Vermuyden in 1626–28.

In 2004 former Apple Recording artist Brute Force accompanied by the Birmingham group Misty's Big Adventure performed in Goole Fields.

The performance consisted of a one-off recital of a song specially penned to celebrate the 30th birthday of the thoroughbred mare "Premier Bid".

[9] Goole windmill is located to the east of the hall, and was a six-storey tower mill, built in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth centuries.

[10] In addition, the farmhouses at Ash Tree, Field House, Ivy Lodge and Home Farms are all grade II listed.

Peat was brought to the mill from the moors by a 3 ft (914 mm) gauge tramway, which ran alongside Earnshaw's Warping Drain and passed just to the east of Goole Grange.

The mire is very important due to its invertebrate fauna with several nationally rare insects, including crickets (Metrioptera brachiptera), moths (Orgyia recens), butterflies (Globiceps woodreftei), and beetles (Bembidion humerale).
