Hill House Certificated Location

Watersports enthusiasts head to Hornsea, where they can launch a canoe (or a jetski) off the sandy beach. Near the beach, the Trans Pennine Trail Gateway marks the start (or the arrival point) of the long-distance path linking the North and Irish seas, while Bugtopia Hornsea Zoo is home to bugs, reptiles and colourful birds. The market town of Beverley (25 minutes’ drive) comes alive on a Saturday morning, when stalls selling food, clothing and crafts gather in the central square (appropriately named Saturday Market). Stroll past Georgian townhouses en route to the Beverley Minster, a Gothic structure with splendid stained-glass windows. Standing at the confluence of the River Hull and the Humber Estuary, and looking like an open-mouthed shark, The Deep is a modern aquarium in Hull (half an hour). Other attractions in the city’s aptly named Museums Quarter include the Streetlife Museum, with vintage vehicles, and Wilberforce House, the birthplace of anti-slavery campaigner William Wilberforce.
