Bridlington is a seaside resort and a small port located on the North Sea. 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.
Bridlington has much to offer, even if you don’t venture out to towns like Hull and Scarborough. Here are just a few of the attractions you may consider visiting when you next stay in Bridlington.
1. Sewerby Hall and Gardens are on the cliff tops above Bridlington and they form the gateway to the Flamborough heritage coast. On arrival, you are greeted with views from the house and garden across the north bay of Bridlington. Although it was built in the early 1700′s, the hall was only opened to the public in 1936 when Bridlington Council purchased it. Along with enjoying the wonderful views inside is housed an exhibition of souvenirs and mementoes relating to the world famous aviator Amy Johnson who was from the town.
Also for the children there is the zoo that they can enjoy which houses many different types of domestic and wild mammals. Together with a large number of reptiles and birds. Amongst the creatures housed here are Cameroon sheep, llamas, parakeets, monkeys 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. Also if you are there on a Friday evening and you have children with you who are over eight years of age they can then try out the 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. The gym has the latest in exercise equipment and excellent views of Bridlington Bay. The gym’s fully trained staff are there to look after you.
3. The Bridlington Yorkshire Belle is a cruise service which offers trips past the local cliffs and along the coast around Flamborough Head and to Bempton’s Bird Sanctuary. The latest Yorkshire Belle was built in 1947 because the original one was destroyed during World War II. The cruise takes around one hour.
4. John Bull Rock Factory and Candy Kingdom is a place for adults and children alike. For more than three generations now they have been producing traditional kinds of confectionary along with biscuits and chocolate. They are famous for producing sticks of rock. This attraction is just 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.
Make sure that you have an enjoyable stay in Bridlington and book your hotel in Bridlington here.
