The stunning market town of Beverley has beauty in abundance. With an aweinspiring Minster, historical buildings, cobbled streets, and small town charm, there is something for everyone. Beverley has an up market shopping experience along its cobbled streets and charming courtyards with many high street names. In addition there is an interesting selection of smaller independent shops, an antique arcade and the Saturday market is delightful for a weekend browse. The Georgian Quarter has architecturally fascinating streets, divided by the 15th Century North Bar and contains a great number of listed buildings, and a wide variety of shops. Take a break from shopping and culture to visit Beverley Westwood, with its beautiful greenery and a day at the races is a popular choice. The town centre and surrounding streets are bordered by cosmopolitan pavement cafés, quirky cafés, cosy coffee shops and fine dining restaurants. The Yorkshire Coast is one of real contrasts, from the haunting landscapes of the Southern end, to the dramatic and rugged cliffs of the North. Families have enjoyed the East Yorkshire coast for many years with its numerous glorious golden 50 visithullandeastyorkshire.com
beaches, traditional seaside arcades and funfairs, donkey rides on the beach, chalets, fish and chips and ice cream. Head to Bridlington harbour, from where you can sail across the bay on a traditional pleasure cruiser, a pirate ship or a speedboat, or just watch the fascinating day-to-day business of the local fishing industry. You’ll find some of East Yorkshire’s most loved seaside towns within easy reach of Bridlington; Hornsea is the perfect place for a family day out by the sea or spend the day exploring the smaller, more traditional resort of Withernsea. Head to the towering cliffs of Bempton to marvel at the seabird colonies, spotting the puffins between July and August is a favourite; or south to Spurn Point to take in the amazing wildlife on this unusual landmark.
