Aike is a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is located approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) north of Beverley and lies to the west of the River Hull. It is approached by a no-through road 2.5 miles (4 km) long off the A164 road.
Since 1935 Aike has formed part of the civil parish of Lockington, but was an independent civil parish in Beverley Rural District from 1866 until 1935.
GENUKI reports from a gazetteer of the 1820s that Aike was formerly on an island in a low-lying part of the River Hull which was drained so that the hamlet could be connected by road to the surrounding country. This is illustrated to the east of the visible part of the Vision of Britain map where Aike is at the end of the 2-1/2 mile road on the edge of the wide River Hull. (Note: the River Hull flows into the River Humber from the north at Kingston-upon-Hull.) On the adjacent map Lockington has a long eastward spur above the parish of Scorborough. This is the position of Aike.
