Spurn Head to Hornsea
The Holderness Coast is eroding faster than any other in Europe, while Spurn Head, the hook at the southern end of it, grows each year, and is a plays temporary home to thousands of migratory birds. To the north is the attractive town of Hornsea and the country’s largest lake, Hornsea Mere. To discover more about the locality, head to the Hornsea Museum, which unsurprisingly also boasts a good selection of early Hornsea Pottery.
2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Scottish poet Robert Burns' birth. Burns was a poet and a lyricist and is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland.
The Burns Supper was started a few years after his death by a group of his friends; they held the supper to honour and remember Burns. The tradition caught on and the ritual of Burns Supper is now held all around the world.
His life and work will be celebrated throughout the year at many Burns-related events.
