Template:GBdot 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.
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 paraphanelia. 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.
The town should not be confused with Hornsey, a suburb of London.
