Bridlington Holidays

UK holidays are hip once more and there's nothing hipper than a UK holiday by the seaside. So get your bucket and spades ready and get over to Bridlington in Yorkshire. Apart from the sand and sea, there's the Beside the Seaside Museum just by the harbour, where there's family fun for everyone discovering the town's heyday as a fashionable seaside resort. Attractions include reconstructions, interactive games, films and trips around the bay. For confectionery the old-fashioned way on your Bridlington holidays, try John Bull Confectioners, a company established in 1911 and still selling fudge, toffee and personalised rock. Families will also love Cruckley Animal Farm, an approved rare-breed centre and working farm featuring farm animals and cuddly rabbits and chicks. For a taste of history on your Bridlington holidays, try the Bayle Museum, situated in a monastic gatehouse over 800 years old that used to be the entrance to Bridlington Priory, one of Yorkshire's wealthiest monasteries.
