Explore the wonderful Holderness peninsula
Our peaceful landscape is one of England’s best-kept secrets. The flat terrain makes it ideal for walkers and cyclists, and we’re just a few minutes’ walk from the coast. Here are just a few of the fascinating locations nearby.
Spurn Point
Spurn Point (or Spurn Head Spit as it’s also known) is a narrow sand spit on the tip of the coast of the East Riding of Yorkshire, that reaches into the North Sea and forms the north bank of the mouth of the Humber estuary.
It is over three miles (4.8km) long, almost half the width of the estuary at that point, but as little as 50 yards (46m) wide in places.
Withernsea
This quirky seaside resort forms the focal point for a wider community of small villages in Holderness.
Its most famous landmark is the white inland lighthouse, rising around 127 feet above Hull Road. No longer a working lighthouse, it now houses a museum to the 1950s actress Kay Kendall, who was born in the town.
