Mesmerising, breathtaking, amazing, awesome - just some of the words our visitors use when they talk about RSPB Bempton Cliffs on the glorious Yorkshire coast. Around a half-a-million seabirds - including gannets, puffins, guillemots and razorbills - flock here in spring and summer. Six, safe, cliff top viewpoints give spectacular views of the nesting birds and the dramatic coastline. The Seabird Centre, at the heart of the reserve, tells the story of the wildlife on the cliffs. Four of the viewpoints are fully accessible with a hard surfaced path linking them in a circular route. RSPB Seabird Cruises sail from Bridlington Harbour throughout the season giving visitors an incredible opportunity to see the colony as seabirds swoop and soar all around. In autumn and winter, when mists fall and winds whistle, a clifftop walk is a great way to get away. RSPB Bempton Cliffs is one of the truly unmissable British wildlife wonderlands. Events and activities throughout the year.
I have visited RSPB Bembton Cliffs many times to photograph the wonderful seabirds that call the cliffs home, but this is the first time since reopening after the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions were eased. the day we visited there was quite a heavy sea fret, but that did not deter us, it was a long awaited trip, and we were going to make the most of it! we were greeted by the team, who explainged the one-way system for accessing the toilets, and the reduced service at the cafe (through a hatch round the back of the visitor centre) providing welcome refreshments and a slice of cake! there were plently of staff and volunteers along the trails, even though there didn't appear to be as much to see in the reduced visibility, they were all cheery and approachable for a chat. most of the other visitors were also being sensibletoo, which is greatly appreciated by all and sundry. bempton is a lovely day out, when fully visible the scale of birdlife on the cliffs is astounding, well worth the visit - there is plenty room , and plenty of trail to follow to nearby places if you continue past the boundries of the reserve. give a minimum of 4 hours to have a good walk and take time to observe the wildlife around the stages that have been strategically placed, but most of all stay safe and be aware of others around you when stopping.

Well organised reserve. Good parking and access to toilets. Great hides. I found the other visitors friendly and very willing to share their knowledge. Great place for birds as well as plants including fungi. Mammals - deer, fox and otter. Marsh frogs. Well worth a visit and repeat visits.

The bridge once held the world record as the longest single span suspension bridge for cars but it remains the longest in the world over which to walk or cycle. More than 100,000 vehicles use the bridge each week, travelling between East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, with the majority using the HumberTAG electronic tolling system.
It really is surprising what there is to do at and around the Humber bridge, fab walks, beautiful scenery, fantastic park, the kids will have hrs of fun, rambling, climbing, biking, a great place to spend an hour or all day,take a picnic, have an ice cream along the river edge, stroll along the foreshore, you can even have a refreshing drink and great food at the country park inn.

A lighthouse was first built on the Flamborough Headland in 1669 but was never lit. The current lighthouse was built in 1806 and acts as a waypoint for deep sea vessels and coastal traffic as well as marking the Flamborough Headland for vessels heading for the ports of Scarborough and Bridlington. Tours of Flamborough Lighthouse are organised by East Riding of Yorkshire Council under licence from the Corporation of Trinity House.
Visited in early August, we enjoyed great weather, lovely walks around the area, we spent time watching the seals playing, and following the kayaks around the headland, get there early as the car park gets very busy.

Visited Sewerby Hall for the day with my Mum and bought the ticket for the house and zoo (gardens free of charge) - well worth it! Gardens were absolutely beautiful, particular the walled gardens which have been looked after so well. Our favourite unexpected part was being able to leave the main grounds of the hall and walk out toward the coast line, with a lovely view of Bridlington. There is also a little land train service which runs into Bridlington and back (great for kids and adults!) so we managed to do that too and walk down by the beach which was an unexpected bonus. The house was really interesting and staff were really knowledgeable, although not huge so took approx. 30 mins to go around. Zoo similarly was fairly small but a nice size, especially for smaller children/those who just want a quick ‘taste’ of a zoo and not a full day’s worth of experience. The proximity to the animals is really impressive compared to a bigger zoo too. All staff around the grounds were really friendly/helpful, and grounds were noticeably very accessible for scooters/wheelchairs. Cafe open for takeaway only, free parking which was easy to find and toilets really clean. Plenty of hand sanitisers all around too. Would definitely recommend!

the grandchildren loved this walk back in time and we loved the memories tah it invoked of having shopped at some of these places when we were children well worth a visit

Another free museum in this once famous maritime city, housed in the former dock offices over looking Queens gardens once known as Queems dock before been filled in and landscaped. inside the museum there are displays covering all aspects of the history of hulls maritme history including the fishing and whaling industry, most haunting is the whale song as you enter the whaling exhibition. a great museum for all the family to visit, and soon there will be a further fishing exhibition when the trawler Arctic cavalier is housed in a dry dock along side the river Hull opposite the Street life museum over the new bridge, when finished it will be another great place to visit.

Burton Constable,the home of the Constable family for over 700 years, is one of the most fascinating country houses to survive with its historic collections. This large Elizabethan mansion and its surrounding 350 acres of parkland is now a museum owned by the Burton Constable Foundation, a charity whose mission is to safeguard Burton Constable for future generations.
Went to Burton Constable Hall and Grounds for the first time.Was a lovely place,the collections in the Hall are excellent and the guides are very helpful and friendly,also the grounds are great,very relaxing away from the mad mass tourism on the coasts at the moment,all in all a place that we would highly recommend A+
