Bridlington Attractions: Things To See and Do When You Stay in Bridlington
Bridlington as well as being a seaside resort is also a small seaport located on England’s North Sea coast. It is situated just south of the promontory known as Flamborough Head and provides you with easy access to the towns of Hull and Scarborough.
Bridlington has much to offer, even if you don’t venture out to towns like Hull and Scarborough. Here are just a few of the attractions you may consider visiting when you next stay in Bridlington.
1. Sewerby Hall and Gardens are on the cliff tops above Bridlington and they form the gateway to the Flamborough heritage coast. On arrival, you are greeted with views from the house and garden across the north bay of Bridlington. The hall was originally built between 1714 and 1720 but was not actually opened to the public until 1936 when Bridlington Council bought it. Along with enjoying the wonderful views inside is housed an exhibition of souvenirs and mementoes relating to the world famous aviator Amy Johnson who was from the town.
Also for the children there is the zoo that they can enjoy which houses many different types of domestic and wild mammals. Plus a large number of reptiles and birds. Many children when visiting it enjoy spending time with the Cameroon Sheep, Llamas, Monkeys, Parakeets and Humboldt Penguins.
2. Bridlington Leisure World is ideal when the weather is not as good as you would have hoped for. Certainly this is a great place to spend the day when the weather is really bad as it has three swimming pools you can use. It also features a wave pool and water slides. Also if you are there on a Friday evening and you have children with you who are over 8 years of age they can then try out the inflatable assault course.
However, if you are on your own with your partner then you could try out the centre’s state of the art gymnasium. The gym has the latest in exercise equipment and excellent views of Bridlington Bay. Plus there are fully trained staff to help you and who can provide a health check service if you wish.
3. Bridlington Yorkshire Belle is the cruise service which allows you to see the spectacular cliffs and coast line from the sea as it sails around Flamborough Head and takes you to Bempton’s Bird Sanctuary. The current Yorkshire Belle was built and has been in service since 1947 as the original built in 1938 was destroyed during World War II. The cruise takes around one hour.
4. Adults and children will all enjoy the John Bull Rock Factory and Candy Kingdom. They have been producing traditional kinds of confectionary, biscuits and chocolate for over three generations. But of course what they are really renowned for producing is the sticks of rock. This attraction is just located a short distance from Bridlington in Carnaby. They offer a factory tour and you also have the chance to make your own lollipops and rock.
