Holderness
Holderness is an English countryside on the Yorkshire coast .
Holderness is now part of the East Riding of Yorkshire administrative unit , after it had belonged to the county of Humberside from 1974 to 1996 as the Borough of Holdeness district . To the west is the Yorkshire Wolds .
The flat coast of Holderness is subject to the most severe erosion of any coast in Europe: 1.5 meters erode per year, resulting in a total mass of 2 million tons. Some of this material is transported by a coastal current and piles up at the Spurn headland . Since Roman times , about 5 km of land in Holderness has been lost to the sea, whereby 23 cities have been lost through erosion to this day.
The Westermost Rough offshore wind farm is located eight kilometers off the coast of Holderness .
