Reighton Sands Holiday Park

Funtastic Filey is only five miles from Reighton Sands Holiday Park and is buzzing with seaside amusements, the bird gardens and animal park, and more. Head along the coast and you can step out in the classic seaside resort of Scarborough, or visit Whitby to set sail in a replica of Captain Cook’s ship, HMS Endeavour, tramp around the dramatic abbey ruins on the clifftop, and join the queue for fabulous fish and chips at the famous Magpie Café. If you have time, lose yourselves in the atmospheric alleyways of neighbouring Robin Hood’s Bay, a picturesque village tumbling down towards the sea. Alternatively, if you head inland, you can explore the delights of the Yorkshire Moors via the Pickering steam railway, or go rambling through heather-clad heights and woodland vales, stopping off at the pretty stone villages dotted around the countryside, well-furbished with glorious traditional pubs. Your little sweeties will love a trip to the John Bull Rock Factory, near Bridlington; they can get stuck into making their own treats and there’s also a candy-themed soft play area next door. The fabulous city of York is bursting with history, culture and commerce and well worth a day trip; gorgeously gothic York Minster and the Jorvik Viking Centre top of many tourists’ list of places to visit. For theme parks, Flamingo Land, 32 miles from Reighton Sands, is probably the most popular in the region, with a good zoo included in the entry fee, plus loads of family rides and rollercoasters. Finally, there are some great museums in the countryside too: the flying machines of the Yorkshire Air Museum, near York, and Eden Camp, near Malton, where you can immerse yourself in reconstructions of life during the Second World War, within the huts of an original prisoner of war camp.
