Mappleton lies approximately 3km south of Hornsea on the Holderness Coast, East Yorkshire. The village of around 50 properties has been subject to intense erosion at a rate of two metres per year, resulting in the access road being only 50m from the cliff edge at its closest point. A coastal management scheme was implemented in 1991, which has protected the village at the expense of increased rates of erosion downdraft of the defences.
