Bridlington - East Riding Of Yorkshire: The Perfect Spot For Sun And Relaxation
Bridlington is a town of more than 33,000 residents and located in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The summer months attract enough tourists to raise the population a great amount. As a seaside port, this busy town is on a coast that is said to have the highest rate of erosion in all of Europe. The Holderness Coast is lined with magnificent beaches that are part of a deposit of sand along the cliffs known as Smithic Sands.
These beaches reach out into a bay, forming sand banks that are extremely important to many species of marine life. This harbor area and Bridlington Quay are the tourist areas of Bridlington. People come from all over to sun bathe on the fabulous beaches. Many visitors enjoy the ornamental gardens that are found along the promenades. In order to enjoy the sites from a bird's eye view, there is a wheel that has been built in a similar style to the London Eye.
Bridlington Harbour Heritage Museum attracts sailors and land lubbers alike. The main exhibit consists of a sailing coble called "Three Brothers", which was built in 1912. This coble is anchored at the harbor by the museum. Inside the building itself, there are numerous photos and models depicting harbor history. There is also a diorama of various techniques for fishing, plus a video presentation. Paintings created by local artists are available for purchase in the museum's art gallery.
The other museum with a seafaring theme to it is Beside the Seaside. There is the Bondeville model village to explore and tons of period amusements. Kids will love the Punch and Judy shows, interactive games, and the five films available for viewing. A way to keep the entertainment going is by taking the family to the Bridlington Leisure World. This location has three different pools, one of them has some fantastic wave effects and storms that can be produced. Parents can relax in the steam room and sauna.
