Bridlington

Yorkshire is a region of vast and striking contrasts, from bleak, enigmatic moorland to the golden sands and glimmering seas of the coastline, in between, villages and towns that retain the character and welcome of old as well as modern, cosmopolitan cities. Bridlington offers the coastal beauty of Yorkshire, with easy access to the rest. With two award winning beaches and promenades, packed with fun and a picturesque, bustling harbour, Bridlington is a great place to visit. The town itself is full of attractions from fun-fairs to quiet places where you can sit and watch the world go by. All the ingredients for the perfect seaside resort plus Yorkshire charm.

Bridlington is a holiday heaven that caters to all age groups with a variety of attractions, entertainment, shopping and dining. Bridlington, like many towns and villages on Yorkshire's coast, has an incredible and rich history, built around its harbour. This is still a working harbour that serves as a constant reminder of Britain's maritime heritage. Fishing vessels still come and go to the sound of seagulls calling the catch along with pleasure craft transporting happy holiday makers. Unique too are the Cobble Boats, still around and based on an ancient design that dates back to the fifth century.

Bridlington's 900 year old harbour dates back at least as far as the Romans and is as lively and exciting today. Naturally, the seafood available in Bridlington is fresh, local and superb, from traditional fish and chips to a plate of cockles.

For pleasure seekers, the Yorkshire Belle offers one or two hour cruises to Flamborough Head, or you can enjoy evening trips complete with music and refreshments that reveal the beauty of the coast as the lights shimmer on the sea at night.

With theatres, historic sites, castles, stately homes, indoor entertainment centres, sports centres, golf courses, fishing and beautiful gardens, Bridlington is an exceptional holiday experience.
