PLANNING YOUR HOLIDAY AT THORNWICK BAY THIS AUTUMN?
Our Favourite Things to Do Nearby.
Whether you're looking for a relaxing stroll, a family adventure or somewhere to enjoy the stunning Yorkshire coastline, there's something for everyone just moments from your doorstep.
Visit Bempton Cliffs.
One of Yorkshire's most spectacular wildlife spots, Bempton Cliffs is just a scenic walk north along the coastal path. During the breeding season the cliffs come alive with thousands of seabirds, including gannets, guillemots, razorbills, kittiwakes. Don't forget your binoculars!
Go Rock Pooling.
For a classic seaside adventure, head to Thornwick Bay or North Landing at low tide. Search the rock pools for crabs, anemones and tiny fish, explore the sea caves, and enjoy one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in East Yorkshire. It's a favourite with families.
Walk to Flamborough Lighthouse.
A leisurely walk south along the cliff tops leads you to Flamborough Lighthouse. Along the way you'll enjoy breathtaking sea views, spot the resident seal colony below the cliffs, and see if you can find the famous "Drinking Dinosaur" rock formation.
Discover Danes D**e.
Just a few minutes away by car, Danes D**e Nature Reserve is a peaceful woodland leading down to a beautiful beach. It's an ideal place for a gentle walk and makes a great starting point for exploring the coastline towards South Landing or Bridlington.
Enjoy Flamborough Village.
Take time to wander around the village, browse the local shops, enjoy a traditional fish and chips, or stop for an ice cream after a day exploring. There are several welcoming cafés and pubs nearby if you're looking for a leisurely lunch or an evening meal.
Spend a Day in Bridlington.
Only a short drive away, Bridlington has everything you'd expect from a classic British seaside town. Stroll along the promenade, visit the harbour, enjoy the sandy beaches, browse independent shops or treat yourself to fresh seafood and fish and chips by the sea.
Walk the Yorkshire Coast.
The coastline around Flamborough is part of the spectacular King Charles III England Coast Path, offering unforgettable walks in both directions. Whether you're after a short stroll or a longer hike, you'll be rewarded with dramatic cliffs, hidden coves and incredible sea views.
