South Cliff Holiday Park

Bridlington (five minutes' drive) has quite a few attractions to its name. Bridlington Spa (five minutes) isn't actually a spa at all (you've got the sea for that…), but a classic East Riding theatre and dance hall where all sorts of entertaining acts await your applause. If non-salty swims are called for, meanwhile, there's also East Riding Leisure Bridlington (five minutes). On the far side of town you've got family-friendly day trips like Sewerby Hall and Gardens (15 minutes), a scenic clifftop country estate, and Bondville Model Village (15 minutes), a pint-sized version of Bridlington and its handsome harbour. Other top coastal spots in the surrounding area include Bridlington Links Golf Course (15 minutes) and Filey (20 minutes), where curious kids with buckets and spades can head out rockpooling at Filey Brigg. Scarborough (40 minutes) is also within reach for those that want to check out Alpamare Water Park or climb up to Scarborough Castle; it's also the set-off point for the North Bay Heritage Railway, a narrow-gauge tourist train that's sure to make steam fans smile. To the south, Hull (50 minutes) also has a lot going for it: between them, the Streetlife Museum, The Deep (an award-winning aquarium) and the hulking great Humber Bridge should sort you with a rather agreeable excursion.
