Hornsea's old town is centred around Market Place, Southgate, Westgate and Mere Side and is connected to the promenade by New Road. Don’t miss the world’s largest collection of Hornsea pottery at the award-winning Hornsea Folk Museum. On the opposite side of the road, Bettison Folly is a striking 19th century building of locally produced ‘treacle’ bricks. Just outside the town, Constable Hall is an Elizabethan manor set in 300 acres of glorious parkland and gardens.
