Just be respectful of caravan residents and farm animals especially in spring when there's an abundance of sheep either lambing or caring for there young

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!
