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.
