Places To Visit
FILEY
In 2018 Filey won The Sunday Times ‘Beach of the Year’ and this came as no surprise to us. With its long stretch of golden sand and picturesque views, it’s the perfect place for friends and family to enjoy a seaside holiday. Close-by to the north, Filey Brigg has some impressive rock pools to explore, where you may even find the odd fossil or two and also marks the start/end of the Cleveland way trail. Quieter than our other coastal resorts, Filey is the perfect choice for those wanting to enjoy a break away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
