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.
