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.
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!
6. Bayle Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 143 reviews
11am to 4pm with last admission at 3:30pm FREE on street parking NO DISABLED ACCESS. Entrance to the museum via staircases. A Monastic Gatehouse housing a museum and collection of local artifacts. The word Bayle is derived from the French Baille meaning 'enclosure' or 'ward'. Archaeological surveys of the Bayle have concluded that a large proportion of the building dates to the late 12th Century. The initial use is thought to have been a gatehouse to a castle built by William le Gros after he took control of the Bridlington Priory in 1143. In the 14th Century the Bayle was the Gatehouse to the Bridlington Priory. Since the dissolution of the Bridlington Priory the Bayle has been used for many different purposes including a Prison, Court, School, Garrison, Non-conformist meeting place, Town Hall and meeting room for the Lords Feoffees. Today the Bayle is a Grade I listed Building and scheduled Ancient Monument, which makes it of great interest historically and architecturally.

The pool and facilities are great our children aged 3-14 all enjoy it something for everyone and even the adults enjoy the slides. Very clean, ample space, showers, lockers. Make sure you book the day before the time slot you want and arrive early as parking is a nightmare! Your best off if needing to park using the Flamborough Road car park just a 5 min walk away usually always space as you will struggle at the leisure centre. Definitely worth a visit fun for all.

This olde world part of Bridlington was the original seaside town in the beginning and makes its way to join up to the village green itself being used for various events every year. This is over looked by the impressive Priory Church. You need a day to wander around this Particular area.. I'm fortunate enough to live within a comfortable walking distance to be able to use the old town regularly and I help keep the some of the individual shops and businesses flourish if I can. Must add in June people residing here open there gardens with great pride to the public only for a weekend and that's wonderful. I think Alan TItchmarsh would be GREEN with envy!! However because the old town consisting of a rather narrow single one way system this along with the buildings in another time warp film makers have seized there chance to make a few years back THE DAD'S ARMY movie taking advantage to dress certain shop fronts as they would've appeared during the war. The same applied when the gorgeous Martin Kemp father to Capital Radio's presenter Ronan Kemp came to film Wives In the Bath.....what a murderer. Should you catch the movie which occasionally can pop up on these free view channels it looks like they used the double fronted picture gallery with a fixed clock above the facade AND a marvellous again another double fronted antique shop practically next door has a wealth of art d deco/vintage merchandise should a person wants to hunt something down. Yes I love the old Bridlington.
