The Holderness coast in North Yorkshire is a 61 km long stretch of low glacial drift cliffs 3m to 35m in height. They sweep in a smooth S shape from just south of Bridlington in the north to Spurn Point in the south. This smooth shape is only broken where sea defences have reduced erosion at the protected point and increaced it southwards. Contemporary evidence of rapid erosion is abundant. Military pillboxes built in 1940-41 lie at the cliff foot, roads end pricipitously at the cliff edge and the local press regularly covers stories of properties falling into the sea.

Holderness Coast is the coast line between Flamborough Head and Spurn Head in Humberside (formerly East Yorkshire), England. Towns on this coast are Bridlington, Hornsea, Withernsea and Easington.

That's where I live!
So I hope I know where it is. Although it isn't usually called the Holderness Coast - maybe its somewhere else entirely.
I live in East Yorkshire where the Holderness Coast will probably be around where the River Humber flows into the North Sea.
