Situated on the scenic East Yorkshire coast, Bridlington is a timeless gem where great memories are just waiting to be made. This traditional town is blessed with two magnificent stretches of award winning sandy beaches, backed by beautifully kept promenades, ideal for an afternoon stroll. It’s also famously known as the lobster capital of Europe, due to the abundance of fresh shellfish in the area, so there’s lots of delicious seafood to enjoy at a number of local restaurants.
Beyond its lively waterfront, the town holds an incredible depth of history and culture for you to explore on your coach holiday. Come rain or shine, this town is a wonderful place for both the young, and the young at heart. You’ll be surrounded by stunning views, traditional cafes, amusement arcades, historic pubs and more, that all famously served as a backdrop for the Dad’s Army film.

This resort centres around the seafront, where miles of beaches offer a fantastic place to sunbathe, try out some watersports, or simply go for a stroll after sampling the local seafood. Alongside the promenade lies a fully refurbished Spa centre, hosting a range of art galleries, theatre shows and more, while the town’s modern leisure centre offers even more facilities to enjoy. Then there’s the famous Old Town, which was the setting for 2016’s Dad’s Army film, boasting a mix of traditional brick and stone buildings, colourful shop fronts, popular cafes and quaint stores. It’s also extremely easy to get around, with a network of land trains conveniently taking you from one attraction to another.
At the heart of the town lies a 900 year old harbor, a lively focal point that’s home to the Harbour Heritage Museum, where you can dive into the local history. Or you can experience the water firsthand, either on a playful pirate ship or on board Bridlington’s famous Pleasure Cruiser, The Yorkshire Belle, taking you on a trip along the beautiful North East coastline. The harbour area itself is packed with arcades, crazy golf courses, bingo venues, and bowling alleys, as well as a cinema if you want to catch the latest blockbuster.

As part of our coach holidays to Bridlington, we’ll take a step back in time on an excursion to Burton Agnes Hall. This Elizabethan manor house is filled with treasures collected over the centuries and features extensive gardens with walled areas, intricate planting, sweeping lawns and a woodland walk for guests to enjoy. We’ll then head south to the historic market town of Beverley, which is home to an impressive 13th century Minster, with beautiful stone carvings and medieval stained glass. You’ll also have some time to explore the quaint cobbled streets of the town itself, with its market squares and boutique shops.
A highly popular excursion is our train journey from Pickering to Goathland. We’ll board a heritage train with vintage carriages that takes us through the dramatic North York Moors National Park before arriving at the charming village station of Goathland. Film fans will immediately recognise this station as Hogsmeade from the very first Harry Potter movie, making it a truly nostalgic stop. From there, we travel to the coastal town of Whitby, along the banks of the River Esk. With clifftop ruins of the thirteenth century Benedictine Abbey and a striking whale tusk monument framing the view from the West Cliff, this is a fascinating place to explore. Not to mention, it was once home to Captain Cook, who lived here in 1746, and is now remembered in a local museum that depicts his adventures. |
We’ll also head north along the Yorkshire coastline to visit Scarborough, which is arguably Britain’s oldest seaside resort. The town’s two bays are divided by a dramatic headland, with a medieval castle standing proudly on top. The bustling South Bay delivers a traditional holiday atmosphere, with a bustling harbour, beautiful beaches, and elegant Victorian architecture. Meanwhile, the North Bay has a more relaxed pace, where you can explore the oriental inspired landscapes of Peasholm Park, alongside a live theatre and a local art gallery. With fantastic views and fascinating attractions, this excursion is a highlight of our coach holidays to Bridlington. |
