Map of the UK

The East Wolds and Coastal ward sits on the eastern edge of the East Riding of Yorkshire, combining gentle lowland farmland with a stretch of the Yorkshire coast. The landscape is a mix of arable fields, hedged lanes and dramatic sea cliffs, with seaside settlements and popular birdwatching spots such as Bempton Cliffs and the promontory at Flamborough Head close by, while the larger resort of Bridlington lies within easy reach.

Locally the economy relies on agriculture, coastal tourism and small‑scale fishing, with village pubs, caravan parks and nature reserves playing a big part in community life; heritage is visible in lighthouses, wartime defences and longstanding coastal traditions. It’s an area valued for wildlife and outdoor recreation, drawing walkers and birders in summer while retaining a quiet rural character for residents.
