Bridlington Attractions

It is worth visiting the Bayle Gate, the gatehouse of the former monastery (1388). The museum of antiquities, which has been set up here, includes a lovingly assembled dolls collection and numerous objects associated with the history of Bridlington.

Bondville Miniature Village is located in Bridlington. Scenes of everyday life have been carefully crafted and set in a beautifully landscaped one acre site. The village is sure to delight children of all ages.

The Bridlington Arts Festival is an annual two-week event that takes place during the month of May.

In Bridlington's old town the Priory Church of St Mary, which was begun under Henry VIII, is worth visiting. During the English Reformation period the nave was pulled down and it was not until the middle of the last century that Sir Gilbert Scott completed the restoration of the church. Of note are the Jesse window with its 30 sections and the Early Gothic windows in the nave.

In Bridlington's town museum in Sewerby Hall, to the northeast of the center, there are archaeological finds and a small gallery displaying local art.
The gardens include recreational areas for children and adults as well as walled rose gardens. There are also many events hosted on the grounds.

Skipsea Castle are the remains of Norman ruins including a motte.
