Bettisonβs Folly was built some time between 1829 and 1853 by William Bettison, a Hull-based brewer, in what was then his garden. All in pursuit of his desire to ensure his dinner was served on time. The folly is hidden down a residential street and well worth a detour if youβre in the area.

The end point (or start point) of the Trans Pennine Trail, right at the beach front of Hornsea. Depending on the weather, it can be a spectacular viewpoint to finish/start or an incredibly bracing one!

Hornsea beach marks the end (or the start) of the Trans Pennine Trail. It is a long expanse of shingle and sand and much quieter than nearby Bridlington and Scarborough. Its a popular beach for watersports with swimmers, kayakers and sailors often spotted. There are also plenty of cafes nearby should you need a bite to eat or a coffee.
