- Tourist Attractions
- Scarborough - Britain’s first seaside resort, has been welcoming visitors for over 360 years and is still as popular as ever. The safe, sandy, accredited beaches of the North and South Bays are broken by a rocky headland on which stands a reminder of the past - Scarborough's medieval castle.
Filey - A traditional Victorian English seaside town with a friendly atmosphere. A perfect place for those who want an active holiday, or for those who just prefer to relax with the restful background of fishermen mending their nets. The five-mile stretch of award winning sandy beach is protected by the rocky grandeur of Filey Brigg, a haven for a variety of birds and wildlife. All generations of families can enjoy the nature trail along the Brigg as they explore the many rock pools in search of sea creatures. Surfing, fishing, yachting, golf, walking and bird watching are just a few of the activities, which are here to be enjoyed.
Whitby - Whitby is dominated by the cliff-top ruins of a beautiful 13th century Abbey. This quaint maritime town, with its old cobbled streets, picturesque houses and sandy blue flag beach, is set among fine stretches of coast with spectacular cliffs and bays.
York - Reputedly one of the most intriguing cities in England, no other English city offers the layers of history, beauty and sheer diversity of York. The superbly preserved walled city has witnessed more than 2000 years of vibrant history. Combine this with quaint tea- shops, bustling shopping streets, the brightest bars and cafes and award winning attractions and you've got the perfect holiday destination.
