About

The East Riding of Yorkshire is a district in the Yorkshire and The Humber region, covering a mix of rural landscapes, coastal areas, and market towns. It includes the historic city of Hull, though the city itself is a separate unitary authority. The area is known for its agricultural land, with farming playing a key role in the local economy. The coastline features resorts like Bridlington and Hornsea, attracting visitors with beaches and seaside amenities.

Inland, the district is characterised by rolling countryside and villages, with Beverley serving as the administrative centre. The town is home to Beverley Minster, a notable Gothic church, and hosts a weekly market. Transport links include the A1079 and A165 roads, connecting the area to York and the wider region. The Humber Estuary borders the south, with the Humber Bridge providing a key crossing to northern Lincolnshire. The East Riding combines rural traditions with modern development, offering a balance of heritage and practicality.
