FILEY
Filey
is the perfect place to stay
Great for those who enjoy a gentler pace of life - a charming little fishing village with stunning views! Filey is sits on a cinematic five-mile sandy bay. With its glorious sweep of soft, golden sand, Filey beach is one of the best in the country for families, voted alongside Bondi Beach as one of 6 best beaches in the world and Sunday Times Beach of the Year 2018 – it’s so huge that, no matter how busy it gets, it’s never crowded.
THINGS TO DO
BRIGG
Filey Brigg is a Site of Special Scientific Interest with 20-metre cliffs, formed by alternating sandstone and limestone.
At the base of the cliffs you’ll spot waders like redshanks, sandpipers and oystercatchers, while a Roman signal station was excavated on the peninsula in 1857. Five foundation stones from this site can now be seen at Filey’s Crescent Gardens.
​
CRESCENT GARDENS
A graceful green space in front of The Crescent, a terrace of stuccoed townhouses from the mid-19th century. Designed for residents to take promenades, the gardens are formal and ornate, with a bandstand, geometric flowerbeds and stirring views out across the bay. Brass bands play at the bandstand in summer.
​
BEACH CHALETS
Filey Beach has a beautiful
old-fashioned promenade and beach chalets that you can hire from March to September.
The beach is perfect for children where they can take pony rides on sunny days.
​
FISHING BOATS
Filey bay is famed for its coble boats with the slipway known as 'Coble Landing'.
It's a beautiful site in the summer with the fishing pots stacked up on the little boats and tractors.
