Hornsea is a small seaside resort town in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England at the eastern end of the Trans Pennine Trail. It is well known for its pottery factory, Hornsea Pottery. Along with exhibits of fascinating local history, the largest display of Hornsea Pottery in the world can be seen at the Hornsea Museum, which is located in Newbegin, the main street of Hornsea. Like the larger resorts in the area, (such as Withernsea, Bridlington and Scarborough), the town has a promenade with shops selling fish and chips, ice cream, bucket and spade sets and other traditional seaside paraphernalia. Attractions for the visitor might be the Rainbow's End crazy golf course, amusement arcades and beach. Hornsea Mere, a large lake and bird sanctuary, lies near the town and is popular for sailing. Hornsea Mere is a natural lake (not man made) which was created by glacial movement during one of the Ice Ages.
