dbo:abstract
  • The Skipsea meres were three lakes in and around the village of Skipsea in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The meres that are known to have existed were Skipsea Bail Mere, Skipsea Low Mere and Skipsea Withow Mere. The name of the village, Skipsea, means lake, or harbour for ships. At least two of the meres were natural, filling with water in a post-glacial landscape, whilst the third, Skipsea Mere, was possibly created as part of the defences for the castle. All the water from the meres has either drained away naturally, or been removed by human intervention, most notably for agricultural purposes. (en)
