Hornsea is small resort along the coast in East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
Hornsea is at the eastern end of the Trans Pennine Trail, a long-distance path that runs from coast to coast across northern England, covering a distance of 333.1 km (207 miles). Hornsea is also famous for Hornsea Pottery, a pottery business that was founded in 1949 and produced potteries and clay figurines until 2000, when it went into receivership.
The modern town of Hornsea is like any other British seaside resorts, with its shops selling fish and chips, ice cream and traditional seaside paraphernalia.
