Little Otchan Glamping

Just south of Withernsea is RAF Holmpton (15 minutes’ drive), where a rather unassuming bungalow hides a vast underground bunker. Built in the 1950s, the facility was operational for more than 20 years; these days, volunteers are on hand to explain its role as an early warning station during the Cold War years. In Hull (40 minutes), The Deep is a state-of-the-art aquarium at the confluence of the River Hull and the Humber estuary. From there, trace your way back up the river to the Hull & East Riding Museum, which displays Roman mosaics and the reconstruction of a mammoth, or visit the birthplace of anti-slavery campaigner William Wilberforce. The market town of Beverley (50 minutes) is known for its Georgian townhouses and its Minster, which took more than two centuries to build and features three types of Gothic architecture. To the west of the town, Beverley Westwood is a vast area of parkland with a racecourse and a golf club.
