Our Holiday Cottages Are Excellently Placed for A Walk to Bridlington

The convenience of a short break here can be even greater for those who choose to stay by the coast with our charming Bridlington holiday cottages here at White House Leisure Park. Situated just 400 metres away from Fraisthorpe Beach, these gorgeously appointed properties are spacious, comfortable, and dog-friendly. 

While Fraisthorpe Beach is a delight due to its long, flat expanse that lends itself beautifully to kite flying and dog walking, another great reason to base yourself in holiday accommodation here is the opportunity it presents for a stroll all the way to Bridlington. 

Yes, that’s right; a three-mile walk straight up the coast will take you to Bridlington sea front. Do make sure you keep an eye on the tide times, though, given that if the sea comes in, taking the longer coastal path will be necessary.  

What Might Your Typical Day on Bridlington Sea Front Look Like? 

Bridlington, on the East Riding of Yorkshire coast, offers two award-winning beaches and a lively historic harbour — perfect for a family day out.

However, the abundance of things to see and do on Bridlington sea front might understandably leave you unsure where to start. 

Below, then, we have outlined a potential template for your next day out here. 

  • Morning: Enjoy The Pleasures of South Beach 

If you’ve embarked on the walk from Fraisthorpe Beach that we suggested above, you will reach Bridlington South Beach just over two miles into your journey. This vast, golden-sanded beach is the quieter of Bridlington’s two celebrated beaches – the other, of course, being North Beach – and it presents wonderful views of the harbour and the south bay. 

  • Mid-Morning: Take A Stroll Along the South Promenade 

Backing the South Beach is the South Promenade, otherwise known as the Princess Mary Promenade. This wide, clean pathway leads to the centre of town, although there are some welcome distractions along the way. These include, if you have little ones with you, a large paddling pool near the chalets, as well as a grassy area with picnic benches. 

  • Lunch: Help Yourself to Obligatory Fish and Chips 

Presuming you’re getting peckish by now, there’s always somewhere on Princess Mary Promenade or nearby to grab some fish and chips. We’re sure you won’t be able to resist that quintessentially crispy, golden batter encasing fresh haddock caught from local waters.

  • Early Afternoon: Embark On a Scenic Walk to The North Promenade  

Post-lunch, it’s time to burn those chips off with a stroll to the North Promenade. The South and North Promenades are connected by a continuous promenade running along Bridlington sea front past the harbour, leisure centre, and amusements. Depending on how fast you walk, this pleasant stroll near shops, cafes, and the marina should only take you around 30 minutes. 

  • Mid-To-Late Afternoon: Have Fun with The Family and Explore at Your Leisure

The North Promenade in Bridlington is full of charm, with amusements, fairground rides, and classic seaside souvenir shops. The Edwardian-style promenade adds to its nostalgic appeal.

From here, you’re only two miles from Sewerby Hall, home to beautiful gardens, a small zoo, and stunning clifftop views. You can reach it by walking along the scenic coastal path or hopping on the famous Bridlington Land Train. It runs from Easter to September and stops right at Sewerby Hall.

 

  • Evening: Take In the Sunset and a Dinner with A View

The sun beginning its descent will transform the sky of Bridlington sea front into captivating shades of pink and orange, setting the perfect scene for an evening stroll. Be sure to bring a jacket to shield yourself against that brisk sea wind. Perhaps you might even be tempted to book a table at a nearby seafood restaurant, where you can tuck into crab linguine and locally sourced lobster at the same time as marvelling at the stunning views? 

Bridlington Sea Front Really Can Be the Complete English Coastal Destination! 

Even a relatively unplanned, spontaneous day trip to the centre of Bridlington from your East Yorkshire holiday cottage can be a lot of fun. But of course, you are likely to extract even greater enjoyment from your time in this traditional English seaside resort, if you prepare well and take some inspiration from itineraries like this one.
