1. RSPB Bempton Cliffs
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1,947 reviews
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.
2. Sewerby Hall and Gardens

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 cow shed is a lovely ( posh upmarket ) little cafe with a very good chef delivering delicious food with friendly staff , its a very safe place during this pandemic as they are taking every precaution on our behalf. Yes the food is expensive compared to other cheap and cheerful seaside cafes , but this one isn’t serving you cheap rubbish!!! you get high end restaurant quality food in a lovely stylish environment, so the food and venue is well worth the extra cost . If you want tea in a crappy mug and a burger with no meat in it try somewhere else .

I thought we would pop in for the morning...see a few animals and birds...didnt expect such an immersive and hands on day, feeding wallabies, emus and other animals. Great informative demonstrations with those stripy animals that annoy everyone in America, whose name I have forgotten, brilliant flying display and talk about birds of prey, handling reptiles and a barn owl. A FAB day out, thank you!

Love this beach, purchase some good robust sea shoes and when the tides out you can explore the rock pools but please be aware of the tides they come in quick and you can be easily cut off. I have had to swim back to shore when cut off. Not for the faint hearted has there is a rather steep hill to get down to the beach but it is well worth it, please note the toilets are at the top so make sure you go before going down to the beach. There is also great cliff top walks to Flamborough Head lighthouse and you can go further and make it to Daynes Dike or even Bridlington and the other way to Thornwick Bay and beyond to Bempton. Brilliant for bird watching and hikers. PLEASE ENSURE YOU TAKE ALL YOUR RUBBISH BACK TO THE BINS AT THE TOP.

Another one of Flamborough’s lovely bays, with terrific views and lots of different and unusual birds, all connected by the cliff walk coastal path. A large pay and display car park at the top of the cliff, here again it is a steep walk down to the beach but you can take a break at the Lifeboat station and the Living Seas Centre. The Lifeboat Station has been here for 135 years and an in-shore Atlantic 85 Lifeboat now operates from this site. The crew have been presented with 16 awards for gallantry. The gift and souvenir shop sell RNLI goods and needs our support to keep the lifeboats running. There is also a Living Seas Centre which opens daily from February to December from 10 am to 4 pm (5 pm in summer) with a shop and toilet facilities open during these hours. This is an ideal place for children as well as adults to learn about the Flamborough coast its sea creature and its wildlife.

this is one of them places which is a must visit. loads of caves and coves to explore for the family and if your really lucky like we was you get to see the seals which in its self was amazing. steps all the way down to the beach - a bit harder on the way back but more than worth it - rock pools its an endless day day there and and put it on your bucket list. and when your done there's a great cafe at the top which do a brill breakfast. also at the top there,s a vast of coastal walks also you can walk up to the famous drinking dinosaur rock formation. parking was great also think it cost us £3 for the whole day also little gift shop at the top - lighthouse and toilets. A must place to visit 100%
