Skipsea is a small coastal parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, on the low-lying Holderness coast facing the North Sea. The shoreline is known for its dramatic, erosion-prone cliffs and a stretch of sandy beach and holiday park at Skipsea Sands, making the area popular with walkers, birdwatchers and families looking for a quieter seaside visit than nearby Bridlington or Hornsea.
The village has medieval roots and is dominated by the earthwork remains of Skipsea Castle, a motte-and-bailey site that hints at the parish’s historic importance. Today the local economy is a mix of agriculture and tourism, with a small, close-knit community and a landscape that reflects both farming traditions and the changing coastline.
