Mappleton is a small village and civil parish on the Holderness coast in the East Riding of Yorkshire, facing the North Sea and sitting roughly five miles south of Hornsea. It is notable for its dramatic, rapidly eroding cliffs and the rock-armour sea-defence scheme installed in the early 1990s to protect the village and the coastal B1242, a project that significantly altered local sediment movement.
The local economy is mainly agricultural with some tourism centred on a caravan park and coastal walks; community life revolves around a small historic parish church and village amenities. The coastline attracts birdwatchers and geology enthusiasts drawn to the changing cliffs and the nearby Humber Estuary, giving Mappleton a quiet, rural character with an acute awareness of coastal change.
