Where is the East Riding of Yorkshire?
The East Riding of Yorkshire is the easternmost part of what was the traditional county of Yorkshire. Today, it forms its own county, just east of the city of York itself. Its eastern border is its North Sea coastline, with North Yorkshire to the north and Lincolnshire to the south.

Like the rest of Yorkshire, the East Riding is a county of rolling hills that offer infinite varieties of green. It is a rich, open place that nature lovers will endlessly enjoy exploring. If you happen to be an ornithologist, the East Riding of Yorkshire has some of the best birdwatching in the whole of the UK.
Specific highlights of this county’s amazing natural beauty include the Yorkshire Wolds, a sea of green hills and valleys that rolls from the coast down to the Humber Bridge. There’s also Bridlington, which offers the quintessential Yorkshire seaside holiday experience. Here you’ll find the Bempton chalk cliffs, home to over half a million nesting seabirds.

Since tourism and agriculture are the two leading industries of the county, it has a well-developed network of beautiful hamlets, villages and historic market towns that attract new residents as much as holidaymakers. Beverley is a particularly attractive Georgian market town, with its towering Gothic minster, bustling local market and relaxing café culture.
