Hornsea is a small seaside resort, town and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The settlement dates to at least the early medieval period. The town was expanded in the Victorian era with the coming of the Hull and Hornsea Railway in 1864.
The civil parish encompasses Hornsea town; the natural lake, Hornsea Mere; as well as the lost or deserted villages of Hornsea Beck, Northorpe and Southorpe. Structures of note with the parish include the medieval parish church of St Nicholas, Bettison's Folly, Hornsea Mere and the sea front promenade.
The Hull and Hornsea Railway opened 1864, and was closed in 1964 – the main railway station, Hornsea Town, is still extant, and the former trackbed forms the section of the Trans Pennine Trail to Hull. In the First World War the Mere was briefly the site of RNAS Hornsea, a seaplane base. During the Second World War the town and beach was heavily fortified against invasion. Hornsea Pottery was established in Hornsea c. 1950 and closed in 2000. Modern Hornsea still functions as a coastal resort, and has large caravan sites to the north and south.
The civil parish of Hornsea is located on the Holderness coast approximately 16 miles (25 km) northeast of Hull. The parish is bounded by the civil parishes of Atwick to the north, Seaton to the west, Hatfield and Mappleton to the south, and by the North Sea to the east. The civil parish contains the coastal town of Hornsea, and a suburb of Hornsea Bridge or Hornsea Burton south of the former railway line, as well as Hornsea Mere.
The old town of Hornsea is centred on the Market Place, and includes Southgate, Westgate and Mere Side; the resort and promenade is connected to the old town by Newbegin and New Road, and includes much of the Victorian development of the town.
The area of 'old' Hornsea centred on the Market Place, and including Hall Garth Park and the large houses around Hornsea Town railway station and Grosvenor Road are now (2007) part of a Conservation Area – the area excludes the 19th/20th century resort, and promenade.
Like other small North Sea coastal resorts Hornsea has a promenade, laid out gardens, hotels, fish and chip shops, gift shops and so on. On the southern edge of Hornsea, near the site of Hornsea Pottery is a shopping centre known as Hornsea Freeport – the Freeport adapted some of the original theme park set up by Hornsea Pottery.

Places to see in ( Beverley - UK )
Beverley is a market town, civil parish and the county town of the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The town is known for Beverley Minster, Beverley Westwood, North Bar and Beverley Racecourse. It inspired the naming of the cities of Beverly, Massachusetts, and Beverly Hills in California.
The town was originally known as Inderawuda and was founded around 700 AD by Saint John of Beverley during the time of the Anglian kingdom of Northumbria. After a period of Viking control, it passed to the Cerdic dynasty, a period during which it gained prominence in terms of religious importance in Great Britain. It continued to grow especially under the Normans when its trading industry was first established. A place of pilgrimage throughout the Middle Ages due to its founder, it eventually became a significant wool-trading town. Beverley was once the tenth-largest town in England, as well as one of the richest, because of its wool and the pilgrims who came to venerate its founding saint, John of Beverley. After the Reformation, the stature of Beverley was much reduced.
In the 20th century, Beverley was the administrative centre of the local government district of the Borough of Beverley (1974–1996). It is now the county town of the East Riding, located 8 miles (13 km) north-west of Hull, 10 miles (16 km) east of Market Weighton and 12 miles (19 km) west of Hornsea. As well as its racecourse and markets, Beverley is known in the modern day for hosting various food and music festivals throughout the year.
As a market town, the market day is central to culture in Beverley; a smaller market day is held on Wednesday: however the main event is on Saturday, with all of the stalls.
The town is served by Beverley railway station on the Hull to Scarborough Line, with services currently run by Northern and a limited service between Beverley and London King's Cross provided by Hull Trains. Before the mid 1960s, there was a direct York to Beverley Line via Market Weighton; the Minsters Rail Campaign is seeking to re open the closed line.

Description
Visit North East England - Passionate People. Passionate Places. (2006)
These are the original eight adverts made for ONE North East by the agency Different. The production company was MTP, with the adverts directed by David Eustace. Enchanting, beautiful and sublime, the Passionate People, Passionate Places campaign initially ran on British television in the spring of 2006 and was revised slightly in the autumn of that year. It featured music by Alan Clark and a voiceover (in the revised campaign) by Gina McKee; both natives of the north east of England. Later versions of the campaign featured new footage directed by Alex Tefler, music by composer Giles Lamb and a voiceover by Sean Pertwee, but to me the 2006 versions of the campaign are the best versions.
All of the footage and audio was supplied exclusively to GnC Films in July 2007 by Iain Ramsay at ONE North East, most of it in master quality format. You can skip instantly to all eight versions of the campaign using the timecodes below.

It is situated next to Little Driffield, where King Aldfrith of Northumbria was reputedly buried, and is also very close to Nafferton, Hutton Cranswick and Wansford. Driffield is named the Capital of the Wolds, mainly through virtue of its favourable location between Bridlington, Beverley and York. The town is served by Driffield railway station on the Yorkshire Coast Line.
Driffield contains a small community hospital, small fire station, police and ambulance stations, several churches - the largest being All Saints' Parish Church, whose bells were restored for the millennium - and a fairly small high street. There is also an area of parkland close to the parish church alongside the stream (Driffield Beck) that runs roughly parallel to the high street.
The town is home to Driffield Show, the country's largest one-day annual agricultural show, as well as the Driffield Steam and Vintage Rally - an event showcasing historical vehicles including traction engines, fairground organs, tractors and vintage cars. A particular focus is placed upon agricultural history, with demonstrations of ploughing and threshing often taking place. The rally is particularly known for the Saturday evening road-run of the steam engines and other vehicles into Driffield town centre, an event which invariably attracts large crowds of spectators.

Places to see in ( Yorkshire - UK ) Whitby Beach
Places to see in ( Yorkshire - UK ) Whitby Beach
Whitby has beaches on both sides of the River Esk. On the east side is the smaller Tate Hill, a sheltered sandy beach that allows dogs all year round. On the other side of West Pier is West Cliff, a larger sandy beach with colourful beach huts, deckchair and windbreak hire, a children's paddling pool and donkey rides.
Access from town, or down the LOOOONG ramps from the West Cliff carparks... or by the cliff lift if it's running. This is where the beach huts are, and the Spa overloooks. There's a lifeguard on duty during the summer months. This is equally popular as Sandsend main beach and so can get very busy - but as with Sandsend this is not necessarily a negative - there can be a great atmoshphere. Views out to sea and of the piers are great, there's always something going on out there to look at. Swimming here is relatively safe. There's food for sale in the high season, and donkey rides too
East facing bay. Sandy beach. Parking very close to the beach in a Pay & Display carpark at the bottom of a VERY steep bank. Good views of cliffs and the picturesqe village of Runswick Bay. Less busy than the very popular beaches close to Whitby.
