Holderness Division is very extensive, stretching from the eastern boundary of Hull to the North Sea coast and extending from the Humber eastuary in the south northwards beyond Hornsea (see Divisions Map). It is a rural area of coastal seaside resorts, small towns and villages. The nearest large city is Hull, which is itself divided into three separate Guiding Divisions because of its size (population over 250,000.)

The Division has one Ranger Unit - Holderness Rangers - which is based in the village of Paull but accepts girls from anywhere in the Division, and is subdivided into three Districts : Hedon, Withernsea and Hornsea and Leven, each centred on the town of the same name and all with a selection of Rainbow, Brownie and Guide units.

Hedon District : centred on the town of Hedon and covering the group of villages in the south-western part of the Division.
