Places to visit from
Bridlington:
Flamborough Head
is a promontory of
8 miles on the Yorkshire coast of England, between the Filey and
Bridlington bays of the North Sea. It is a chalk headland, and the
resistance it offers to coastal erosion may be contrasted with the low
coast of Holderness to the south. There are larger numbers and a wider
range of cave habitats at Flamborough than at any other chalk site in
Britain, the largest of which are known to extend for more than 50m
from their entrance on the coast. Flamborough Head was featured on the
television programme Seven Natural Wonders as one of the wonders
of Yorkshire.
Hornsea is a small seaside
resort town and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England at
the eastern end of the Trans Pennine Trail, a short drive from
Bridlington. Hornsea is well
known for its former pottery factory, Hornsea Pottery, which closed in
2000. The largest display of Hornsea Pottery in the world can be seen at
the Hornsea Museum. The museum, which is located in Newbegin, the main
street of Hornsea, also contains local history exhibits. Opposite stands
'Bettison's Folly', a tower built by a local business man in the 19th
century. The tower contains the only fully working retractable flag pole
in the country
Withernsea
is a seaside resort town and
civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, and forms the
focal point for a wider community of small villages in Holderness. Its
