Filey

Filey, on the North Yorkshire Coast is a classic English seaside resort. 

Originally a sleepy fishing village the town started to grow with the arrival of the railways in the 1840s.  By the 1850s the town had become a classic Victorian resort and rapidly developed a fashionable reputation.

The town itself occupies a commanding position overlooking the sea.  To the north lies the impressive 400 feet high chalk cliffs of Filey Brigg, a haven for a variety of birds and wildlife.  Stretching out to the South is a 5 mile stretch of clean, sandy award-winning beach.

Filey has a number of award-winning gardens which merit a visit and are perfect for whiling away your time especially.

There are also plenty of activities on offer locally for all the family including surfing, fishing, yachting, golf, walking, bird watching and more. 

If you time it right you might also be able to enjoy the annual Filey Festival which celebrates the town's Victorian & Edwardian roots.  Look out for classic strawberry teas served by ladies in period costume plus music, art, processions and more.
