Hornsea, Coastal town in East Riding of Yorkshire, England
The town extends along the North Sea coast and contains Hornsea Mere, the largest natural freshwater lake in Yorkshire measuring 467 acres.
The settlement grew substantially after 1864 when the Hull and Hornsea Railway connected the town, transforming it from a small farming community.
The parish church of St Nicholas, which dates from the 13th century, features Norman architectural elements and remains a central point for local gatherings.
Visitors can access the town via regular bus services from Hull, with the journey taking approximately one hour through the East Yorkshire countryside.
The coastal erosion rate at Hornsea measures among the fastest in Europe, with the cliff line retreating an average of 2.3 meters per year.
