Bridlington: What To Do When You Visit Bridlington

Bridlington as well as being a seaside resort is also a small seaport located on England's North Sea coast. It is close to Hull and Scarborough and is just south of Flamborough Head.

However, although there are plenty of things to do in towns like Hull and Scarborough, Bridlington has much to offer those that visit it as well. Below we take a look at just a few of the attractions you may consider visiting if you decide to spend some time in the seaside resort of Bridlington.

1. Sewerby Hall and Gardens are on the cliff tops above Bridlington and they form the gateway to the Flamborough heritage coast. When you arrive you are greeted with views from the house and garden over Bridlington's north bay. Although it was built in the early 1700's, the hall was only opened to the public in 1936 when Bridlington Council bought it. The hall itself houses an exhibition of souvenirs and mementoes relating to the world famous aviator Amy Johnson who came from Bridlington.

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. Amongst the creatures housed here are Cameroon sheep, llamas, parakeets, monkeys 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. On Friday evenings they have an inflatable assault course.

The centre also has a 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 latest Yorkshire Belle was built in 1947 because the original one was destroyed during the Second World War. The cruise itself lasts for around one hour and drinks and snacks are available on board.

4. John Bull Rock Factory and Candy Kingdom is a place for adults and children alike. They have been producing traditional kinds of confectionary, biscuits and chocolate for over three generations. They are famous for producing 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.
