Bridlington (31mi/50km north of Withernsea; pop. 28,600) is a seaside resort with a long beach which extends south for almost the whole length of Bridlington Bay.
The population of Bridlington grows considerably during the summer months with tourists visiting the beach as well as the ancient market town that lies about one mile from the coast.
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.
Address: Bondville Miniature Village, Sewerby Road Sewerby, Bridlington , England
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.
