About Hull . Hull is in The East Riding of Yorkshire a local government district with unitary authority status, and a ceremonial county of England. It is named after the historic East Riding of Yorkshire (one of three ridings alongside the North Riding and West Riding), which also constituted a ceremonial and administrative county until 1974. From 1974 to 1996 the area of the modern East Riding of Yorkshire constitued the northern part of Humberside.
As a ceremonial county, it borders North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, and includes the city of Kingston upon Hull, which is a separate unitary authority. As a district it borders North East Lincolnshire (over the Humber estuary), North Lincolnshire (over the Humber and on land), Hull, Doncaster, Selby, York, Ryedale and Scarborough.
The East Riding unitary authority is both the largest district and unitary authority in England by area: by population it is the second largest non-metropolitan district (unitary or not) in England, after Bristol.
Geologically the East Riding is split into two parts, the western part is the Yorkshire Wolds, a chalk formation which extends from the Humber at Ferriby to the coast at Flamborough Head, a chalk headland. The south-east of the district is the low-lying coastal plain of Holderness, which faces east to the North Sea, and to the south drains into the Humber estuary. South of Flamborough Head is Bridlington Bay, which features a number of beaches, and at the far south-east of the district is the Spurn peninsula.
The coastline has retreated noticeably in the last 2,000 years with many former settlements now flooded, particularly Ravenser Odd and Ravenspurn, which was a major port until its destruction in the 14th century.
Erosion remains a concern in the area. Works on upgrading sea-defences started in Withernsea in 2005, and village of Kilnsea is also to have defences upgrade. Visitors have been warned by the Humber Coastguard to be very careful on coastal paths near Flamborough Head.
The district is generally rural, with no towns approaching the size of Hull. There are a few market towns such as Beverley, Goole, Driffield, Pocklington and Market Weighton, and the coastal towns of Hornsea and Bridlington. In the south the district contains areas such as Hessle which are part of the Hull urban area but outside the city boundaries.
The East Riding district drains mostly into the Humber. The eponymous River Hull drains the area north of Kingston.
The district is entirely parished: Hull has no parishes. From 1996 Beverley had Charter Trustees to maintain the charter of the borough of Beverley: these were replaced by a Beverley Town Council in 1999, and Bridlington was parished in 1999. The unparished area consisting of the urban district of Haltemprice was divided into various parishes in 1999 and 2000.
