Holmpton

Holmpton is a small coastal village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is located approximately 15 miles (24 km) south-east of Hornsea and forms part of the Holderness peninsula.

The village is situated near the rapidly eroding coastline of the North Sea. Coastal erosion has been a significant factor in the village's history, leading to the loss of land and property over time. Efforts to mitigate erosion have been implemented, including coastal defenses such as sea walls and groynes.

Historically, Holmpton has been a predominantly agricultural community, with farming playing a central role in the local economy. In recent years, tourism has become increasingly important, with visitors drawn to the coastal location and surrounding countryside.

Holmpton is served by local amenities and is within easy reach of larger towns and cities in the region. The village offers views of the North Sea and is a starting point for coastal walks and exploration of the Holderness coastline.
