Atwick is a small village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, sitting on the low-lying agricultural plain of Holderness a few miles south of Flamborough Head and within easy reach of the seabird cliffs at Bempton and the seaside town of Hornsea. The setting combines open, windswept farmland with the sense of a coastal landscape - clay cliffs, winter storms and long views towards the North Sea and the rolling rise of the Yorkshire Wolds.
Historically an agricultural community, the village today mixes farming with a quiet degree of tourism and wildlife interest thanks to nearby reserves, and the coast’s wartime defences and rural churches add local historic character. Social life tends to be small-scale and community-led, with village events and a village hall keeping local ties strong while visitors come for birdwatching, coastal walks and a taste of rural East Yorkshire.
