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.
