Your guide to Hornsea
All About Hornsea
Situated on the Holderness coast in East Yorkshire, Hornsea is a quintessential British coastal town surrounded by nature reserves and, along the shores of the North Sea, a sandy beach designated safe for swimming. To the west lies Hornsea Mere, a large glacial freshwater lake formed in the Ice Age that is now a bird sanctuary, a nesting home for reed warblers, little egrets, and kingfishers. The lake is also a popular spot for rowing, sailing, and fishing for pike and carp. On Hornsea’s seafront, the town’s Leisure Centre welcomes adults and children to its swimming pools and café overlooking the promenade.
Hornsea sits at the eastern end of the famous Trans Pennine Trail, which links the North and Irish seas and is a popular trail for hikers, cyclists, and horseback riders. This 207-mile surfaced path, which is part of the National Cycle Network, offers dramatic scenery and gentle inclines. For those who enjoy the sport of shopping, Hornsea also is home to factory outlets for home items, fashion, and sporting goods.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Hornsea
Although the Yorkshire coast never grows scorching hot, summer is the most popular time to visit this seaside town, as average temperatures are pleasantly warm. In July, the Hornsea Carnival offers family-friendly rides, games, food, and live music, culminating with a parade and fireworks. And in August, an annual biker event attracts motorbike enthusiasts from near and far, some of whom ride up on their vintage bikes. If you’re visiting Hornsea during the autumn, when the town is quieter, you’ll want to bundle up for long, cool-weather beach strolls. November is when temperatures drop into the chilly range, occasionally dipping below the freezing point in December and January. Spring pops with budding trees, blooming flowers, and the opening of Hornsea Local Market, which is held on the fourth Saturday of the month between April and October and features local produce, homemade baked goods, and crafts.
Top things to do in Hornsea
Hornsea Museum
Home to the Burn family for nearly 300 years, this museum consists of six buildings, including an 18th-century farmhouse. The recreated Victorian rooms, blacksmith’s shop, and schoolroom invite visitors to travel back in time. The museum also features over 2,000 pieces of the celebrated midcentury Hornsea pottery, known for its elegant designs.
Wassand Hall
This grand Regency residence is just minutes from Hornsea by car. You can access the main hall and seven other rooms to admire the collection of 18th- and 19th-century paintings as well as silver, porcelain, and furniture. From May to September, guests can visit the grounds and walled gardens, the Cactus and Succulents House, and the Summer House, where you can enjoy tea and cakes in the tearoom.
Withernsea Lighthouse Museum
Located 35 minutes’ drive south down the Holderness Coast, the Withernsea Lighthouse is more than a welcoming beacon to climb up to. At the top of its 144 stairs, you’ll discover a spectacular view across the North Sea and up and down the coastline, but you can also enjoy the tranquil gardens. The museum offers exhibitions on the history of Withernsea and the Holderness Coast.
