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.

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.

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!

We did not know what to expect when arriving in Hull so we headed for the river and we were so pleased that we did. The powers that be have spent much money ensuring that this area is the place to go. A lovely little marina awaits with clever criss-cross walks through the area which has a promenade on one side and many bars, restaurants and shops on the opposite side. Good viewing area of the Humber with its tribute to the thousands of immigrants who passed through Hull en route to the US. The Marina is on the edge of the City Centre and the Old Town which are added attractions with its Cathedral and rejuvenated docklands well within walking distance. As we headed back to the railway station, we met the jovial folk of Hull heading in the opposite direction for their night out which sums up this area. Thoroughly recommend. Enjoy.

Big skies and ever changing wildlife make the evocative landscape of Spurn National Nature Reserve one of Yorkshire Wildlife Trust's most iconic nature reserves. Whether you go by foot, bike or aboard a Spurn Safari (sorry - no vehicular access down to the Point) visiting is always an adventure.

We were fortunate to book on to this activity at the last minute and we are so pleased that we did! This experience was amazing - the views, the scenery, the vehicle, the fascinating light house, the informative (and quick walking!) guide and seeing wild seals absolutely made this day for us. We learned loads, saw lots and really, really enjoyed the day! Thanks Rob! Good value for money :)

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 .

This is common pasture land used by the local community. In summer months animals do inhabit the Westwood and drivers are asked to use care. There is something for everyone except no toilets. When I was young the family use to visit for the day with a picnic and play cricket or just kick a ball around. It also has a golf club on so be careful were you walk. There are trails for kids to run up and down all day long. On weekends and bank holidays in summer there will be Burgess ice cream on sale and on most days a hot dog/burger van who also does healthy salads and teas. I continue to visit to walk the dog a very popular place for that and you are also next to the race course well worth a visit if you have never been. You cannot camp or lite fires or park more then sort of 10 metres from the road to avoid damaging the environment. It can be a good cheap day out for the family provided the weather is kind.
