The landscape is dominated by the North Sea coastline and the flat, green farmland of the former coalfield, with settlements built on the magnesian limestone plateau.

The area is defined by its industrial heritage, visible in the architecture of its terraced housing and the preserved headgear of the former Easington Colliery. A specific landmark is the 'Winged Bull' sculpture by Billy Apple, situated on the former colliery site, which marks the area's mining history.
