Hornsea
Mere is the largest freshwater lake in Yorkshire, situated only
three-quarters of a mile from the North Sea. It covers 467 acres,
compared with Semerwaters 80, and is two miles long, three-quarters
of a mile wide at its broadest part, and at the most 11 or 12
feet deep. The mere owes its origin to the glacial deposits that
formed Holderness, after the last Ice age. This shallow nutrient-rich
lake attracts a variety of wintering waterfowl and passage migrants. Location:
