Coastal change in Holderness.

The Holderness coast runs for around 61 kilometres between Flamborough Head and Spurn Point. It is the fastest-eroding coastline in Europe, retreating at an average of around 2 metres a year.

The Council provides information on coastal erosion risk, sea defences and the management of land affected by coastal change.
