View of Filey Brigg

Highlight • Beach

Filey Brigg is a narrow rocky peninsula north of Filey. The 20 m high cliffs are made of a variety of rock types. The area is now a SSSI for the interesting geology and plant life in the area.

Visiting on a road bike is an out and back from Filey, but the views are nice, and it's a good place for a quick stop and refuel if you're riding this coast.

Flamborough Old Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

Flamborough Old Lighthouse is the earliest lighthouse in the UK which that is still standing. It was built in 1674.

The lighthouse is built from chalk and was designed to use a coal or brushwood fire at the top to provide the light. However, it was never used after its creator, Sir John Clayton, went bankrupt after its completion.

The new lighthouse (built in 1806) is slightly further down the road. As well as a cliff top cafe.

Bridlington Promenade and Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

There is a wide paved bridleway along Bridlington's north promenade or you can opt to cycle on the road. Here you can find the start/finish point of the Way of the Roses, a coast to coast cycling route that starts in Morecombe.

There are lovely views north across to South Landing and Flamborough Head from the promenade. South gives you a more touristy seaside vista with the pier and ferris wheel on the horizon.
