About

North Holderness is a large rural ward covering the northeastern coast of the East Riding of Yorkshire. Its landscape is primarily agricultural, characterised by open farmland and flat terrain, with several small villages and hamlets scattered throughout. The coastline here is defined by the eroding cliffs of Holderness, which are among the fastest-receding in Europe. The area includes the significant settlement of Hornsea, which functions as a local service centre.

The ward's economy has traditional roots in farming and fishing, though tourism is also present, particularly in coastal towns. Hornsea Mere, the largest natural freshwater lake in Yorkshire, provides a notable inland habitat for wildlife. The area's geography is directly shaped by the North Sea, with coastal defences a constant feature. Transport links are primarily via rural roads, connecting the scattered communities to larger towns.
