Bridlington is a classic Yorkshire seaside town with two distinct characters: the old town around the harbour with its medieval priory, and the newer resort area with its long sandy beaches and traditional amusements. The working harbour still lands fresh fish, celebrated in the annual Seafood Festival, while the promenade stretches for miles with donkey rides, fish and chips, and amusement arcades. The coast path leads to the dramatic chalk cliffs at Flamborough Head with its lighthouse, puffin colony, and spectacular rock formations including Thornwick Bay.
