One being Patrington, which is a busy community on the Holderness Peninsula, a little way inland from the coast.

Patrington Church, often known as the Queen of Holderness, has a massive steeple that towers over the rest of the community. Open farmland all around makes for great cycling and walking terrain, and in the spring and fall, Spurn Point is a popular resting spot for migrating birds.
