Bridlington
Just a few miles south from the
majestic cliffs of Flamborough Head, lies the wide sweep of
Bridlington Bay and the resort of Bridlington.
The town has a north beach, a south beach and a harbour. It
is both a seaside town and a fishing port. The size of the
Trawler fleet is not as big as it used to be, but large
catches are still landed at the quay side to be loaded into
refrigerated lorries to be dispersed to fish markets
throughout the country. For the sea angler, there are
fishing trips in large cobles, and in the bay there are
opportunities to fish for codling
 and
plaice. A museum recalls the history of Bridlington harbour
and shows sea-fishing methods used over the decades. The
building also houses an indoor aquarium, offering fun and
interest for all the family.
In recent times the busy harbour has been updated to provide
mooring for private yachts, pleasure craft and speedboats.
The summer months see the harbour crammed with prettily
painted craft of all sizes, as more and more people take to
the water for leisure and pleasure. An air of festivity is
created in the town during the harbour gala when there are
several events. One major attraction is the lifesaving
demonstration given in Bridlington Bay by the crew of the
Bridlington Lifeboat.
Bridlington's two fine sandy beaches rival those to be
 found
in any part of the country, or Europe. They are ideal for
lazing in the sun and safe for swimming. And, on an official
note, it has the second best sand for sandcastles - ensuring
peace for Mum and Dad, while the children spend happy hours
building the castle of their dreams! The beaches are backed
by a fine promenade and lovely ornamental gardens; bliss for
a quiet stroll following a hearty evening meal.
Once the town of Bridlington lay about a mile inland from
the resort but now the the two have merged together. The
original Bridlington is now affectionately known as the Old
Town and is where you will find the 13th-century priory
Church of St.Mary. This wonderful ancient church has many
interesting features, including carvings of mice running up
the woodwork. The beautiful 14th-century gatehouse to the
priory is Grade 1 listed and of historic and architectual
interest. The Bayle Museum of antiquities is housed in the
building, making it well worth a visit.
There are many handsome 18th-century houses and shop fronts
to be seen in different parts of Bridlington. The buildings
of High Street in the old town are of note, so too are the
stately buildings of Royal Crescent
 facing
towards the North Beach. A short drive out of Bridlington
you will find the magnificent Elizabethan mansion, Burton
Agnes Hall. The house is famous for it's magnificent
collections; including modern paintings, porcelain and
bronze, it is also known for it's intricate 17th-century
carvings and fine furniture.
All in all there is much to recommend about Bridlington, it
has stunning beaches, gorgeous seascapes and amazing views
towards Flamborough Head. With a regatta in August and a sea
angling week in September, this charming North East coastal
resort does indeed have something for everyone.
