Cowden is a hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, in an area known as Holderness. It is situated approximately 5 miles south of Hornsea and lies just east of the B1242 road towards the North Sea coast. Its name means a hill where charcoal was burnt.
The Royal Air Force operated a 600-acre bombing range on the beach at Cowden between 1959 and 1998. The range was closed due to coastal erosion, which is quite common on the East Riding coast. The erosion regularly reveals buried ordnance which requires the MoD bomb disposal teams to attend and make them safe.
