Yorkshire coast holiday attractions.
Yorkshire coast cottage holidays are great. We have three seafront holiday cottages on the beach in Filey. Our Yorkshire coast cottages are central to the Yorkshire coast and a good base for visiting Flamborough, Bridlington, Scarborough and Whitby. Most other parts of North Yorkshire and East Yorkshire are also in easy reach of Filey and our coottages. The Yorkshire cities of Hull and York are also good for a day out and can be reached by train if you want to give the car a rest. There are good walking areas on the Yorkshire coast, the Yorkshire Wolds and the North Yorkshire moors. We have compiled a selection of local Yorkshire attractions which our families have visited and have found enjoyable and also put a list of Yorkshire websites where further information on these Yorkshire attractions can be found. Of course do not forget that you have the whole of Filey Bay literally on your doorstep with a wonderful sandy beach and the rock pools of Filey Brig so you do not have to travel at all if you don't want to.

Hull is by far the biggest city in this part of Yorkshire.

modernising itself with a good waterside areas, a
large marina, the Deep and shopping centres. It also has an
older area close by with some good free museums and a free

The Deep. This houses one of the worlds
(never mind Yorkshire's) largest aquarium tanks in
a stunning building on the banks of the Humber
Estuary close to the centre of Hull and all the
local museums. It attracts visitors from all over
Europe. It really is worth visiting if you have
not been and why not visit some of Hull's other
museums, especially the maritime museum. |
