Whilst it never gets ‘properly hot’ by our Aussie standards, with summer reaching the early 20’s it is quite pleasant, and also a very popular destination for summer holidays. It is a great place for long walks, sandcastles, sea gull chasing and of course eating fish and chips! It’s certainly one of the top things to do in York.
The township itself is dotted with friendly guesthouses with warm welcomes and plenty of pubs serving home cooked meals. For us the journey was more that of nostalgia, and for those of you who enjoy visiting historic, quaint towns, Bridlington will also hold this appeal to you.
Being so close to larger towns such as York, Hull and Lincoln, it is a lovely place to visit whilst on a longer road trip. The Yorkshire Dales and Peaks District are also within an easy driving distance.
I absolutely love beaches that have big expanse sand bars when the tide goes out! Feels other-worldy. People often forget that England has some beautiful beaches too!
Bridlington looks quite charming. I’d love to be able to visit it one day, to take long walks on that beach and admire the cliffs as well! And I think it makes a perfect destination for those tired of crowds!
I spent a few summers in London, but did not explore england nearly enough! I would love to see some of these beautiful beaches. It’s good to know that the trains are quick and efficient.
Beautiful story, I’m glad you were able to make it to the sea side. I’ve been to Hull but have yet to explore Bridlington, will have to make a weekend trip. London would be a really long drive, Other Airports besides New Castle could be Leads or Manchester. Leads is only 40 minutes from York.
Seaside towns are the best! Looks like the beach is so peaceful and not too busy at all!
When of the best things about moving to the UK was finding the small towns and villages like Bridlington, away from the cities. It makes it extra special when you have a connection to a place, like you do with Bridlington.
I’ve always said that the best purpose of travel is not to seek out destinations and sights, but to seek out experiences. It is wonderful that you were able to reconnect a bit with your grandma through this place. That is what makes this a beautiful trip.
Seafood and a beach, that is my kind of trip. I miss the beach!
This looks like a lovely place! I wouldn’t mind checking it out.
Bridlington looks stunning. I have always wanted to go to Yorkshire as it has the perfect blend of history and culture.
I love this post! It’s so great to visit a place that has such a personal connection. Bridlington looks absolutely lovely!
