From stately homes and museums to open farms and galleries, the East
Riding has a wealth of historic and cultural attractions. Hull, York
and Scarborough have plenty of things to see and do and the nearby coastal
towns are awash with activities and entertainments for the whole family.
Below is some further information on the areas most popular tourist attractions.
 |
Robin Hoods Bay
Just down the coast from Whitby is the stunning Robin Hoods Bay. Once a year
it hosts a folk festival - you'll love it's little bay, fantastic pubs and
smaller, more relaxed feel than Whitby. A good way to reach Robin Hoods Bay
is to walk it from Whitby along the cliff - it's a long walk, but the best
way to take in the beauty of this coastline. Check the tourist information
point for walk maps. |
Scarborough
Scarborough has everything you'd expect from an established seaside resort, with
two stunning Victorian style bays (North Bay and South Bay) overlooked by majestic
Victorian Hotels such as The Grand, a beautiful esplanade, a Sea Life centre,
indoor and outdoor swimming pools, loads of pubs, clubs, amusements and restaurants.
You can heave yourself up Oliver's Mount to the majestic Scarborough Castle which
lies on the site of an old Iron Age Fort. Scarborough has atmosphere - traditional
England, you'll love it. |

Filey
Filey is perhaps best described as a mini Whitby or Scarborough. It was like
these a Victorian seaside destination and fishing port, and retains its charm
as well as possessing 5 miles of beautiful sandy beaches which attract swimmers
and surfers alike.
Golf is on offer, as are a little theatre and Filey Museum (built 1696) on
Queen Street which offers a complete history of the town. A great destination
for birdwatchers on holiday or weekend break, with its nearby nature reserve. |
Bridlington, Hornsea and Withernsea
Holiday heaven' according to the brochure, and certainly seaside Bridlington
is a bustling place with a promenade marked by it's Edwardian popularity.
Bit more modern now though - with Leisure World, rides, amusements and the
usual seaside rock and fish and chips.
Bridlington has its own harbour, and you are guaranteed the freshest fish in
restaurants and pubs. Check out the museum in the harbour packed with photos
and history of Bridlington's fishing community. |

Whitby
Whitby along the North Yorks Coast, famous for its Abbey, Dracula, Captain Cook,
ruined Whitby Abbey, spooky ghost walks, beautiful sandy beaches, fun amusements
and seaside fish and chips - Whitby has so much to offer from history and heritage
to seaside entertainment day and night. |
We have plenty of brochures and leaflets and will do our best to point
you in the right direction of the day out of your choice.
