About

South East Holderness is a coastal ward in the East Riding of Yorkshire, characterised by low-lying farmland and settlements along the Humber Estuary. The area includes the town of Withernsea, with its prominent lighthouse inland from the shore, and several villages like Hollym and Patrington. The landscape is primarily agricultural, with fields extending towards the eroding clay cliffs of the North Sea coastline.

The area's geography is defined by the large, sweeping bay of Holderness and the vast skies above the estuary. The Humber flood defence system is a significant feature of the low-lying land. Patrington Haven provides a small harbour on the estuary, while the flat terrain is crossed by drainage channels and rural lanes connecting the scattered communities.
