Bettison’s Folly was built some time between 1829 and 1853 by William Bettison, a Hull-based brewer, in what was then his garden. All in pursuit of his desire to ensure his dinner was served on time. The folly is hidden down a residential street and well worth a detour if you’re in the area.

The end point (or start point) of the Trans Pennine Trail, right at the beach front of Hornsea. Depending on the weather, it can be a spectacular viewpoint to finish/start or an incredibly bracing one!
