Travel Information For More Fun Travelling

Bridlington as well as being a seaside resort is also a small seaport located on England’s North Sea coast. It is situated just south of the promontory known as Flamborough Head and provides you with easy access to the towns of Hull and Scarborough.

However, although there are plenty of things to do in towns like Hull and Scarborough, Bridlington has much to offer those that visit it as well. Below we take a look at just a few of the attractions you may consider visiting if you decide to spend some time in the seaside resort of Bridlington.

1. Sewerby Hall and Gardens are on the cliff tops above Bridlington and they form the gateway to the Flamborough heritage coast. When you arrive you are greeted with views from the house and garden over Bridlington’s north bay. The hall was originally built between 1714 and 1720 but was not actually opened to the public until 1936 when Bridlington Council bought it. The hall itself houses an exhibition of souvenirs and mementoes relating to the world famous aviator Amy Johnson who came from Bridlington.

There is the zoo for you to enjoy which houses many different types of domestic and wild animals. Plus a large number of reptiles and birds. Many children when visiting it enjoy spending time with the Cameroon Sheep, Llamas, Monkeys, Parakeets and Humboldt Penguins.

2. Bridlington Leisure World is another, more modern, place you can visit. Certainly this is a great place to spend the day when the weather is really bad as it has 3 swimming pools you can use. Plus there is the wonderful wave pool and water slides that both adults and children can enjoy. On Friday evenings they have an inflatable assault course.

However, if you are on your own with your partner then you could try out the centre’s state of the art gymnasium. Not only does it boast the latest in exercise equipment but you look out at views of Bridlington bay as you do your work out. The gym’s fully trained staff are there to look after you.

3. Bridlington Yorkshire Belle is the cruise service which allows you to see the spectacular cliffs and coast line from the sea as it sails around Flamborough Head and takes you to Bempton’s Bird Sanctuary. The current Yorkshire Belle was built and has been in service since 1947 as the original built in 1938 was destroyed during World War II. The cruise itself lasts for around one hour and drinks and snacks are available on board.

4. Adults and children will all enjoy the John Bull Rock Factory and Candy Kingdom. They have been producing traditional kinds of confectionary, biscuits and chocolate for over three generations. They are famous for producing sticks of rock. The factory and kingdom is located a short distance from Bridlington in Carnaby. As well as touring the factory you have the chance to join the work force so you can make your own lollipops and rock.
