If you enjoy wandering along the Holderness coast, you will be fascinated by what else there is to explore. If this is new territory for you, do come and find out how much there is to enjoy there.
Holderness has one of the fastest eroding coastlines in Europe, but with good farming and fishing many small groups settled there, even though they saw land washed away. In the Middle Ages Norman Lords had power, peasants did the work, and the area prospered. Hedon, Patrington and Ravenser Odd, rivalled Hull with successful trade. The large, magnificent churches- think of Bridlington and Patrington- show how prosperous this area was.
By the 18th century market settlements, and some Georgian parks had been created.. In the 19th seaside resorts attracted visitors, who travelled on the new fangled trains. Bridlington today combines some fishing with being a popular resort.

He speaks frequently on ways people react to the land where they live, and leads walks, for example for the Hull Civic Society, so people see and enjoy our area. His book, Landscapes and Beacons, is one of his many on the area.
