Beverley Minster

Founded by St. John of Beverley c.700, the present building is the third on the site and dates from 1220. Beverley Minster continues to fulfil its function as a place of worship and parish church to some 17,000 people in the town of Beverley, East Yorkshire.

Bridlington Harbour

Bridlington harbour offers irresistible appeal for all ages. Located on the East Yorkshire coast, Bridlington is both a holiday resort and fishing port.

Danes’ Dyke at Flamborough

Danes’ Dyke consists of prehistoric earthworks, possibly intended as a defence, and woodland that runs 2½ miles across Flamborough Head. Despite its name, Danes’ Dyke had nothing to do with the Danes, and was a much earlier site - probably dating back to the Bronze Age.

Flamborough Head

Just north of Bridlington, Flamborough Head - an area of outstanding natural beauty - is a rocky chalk headland offering picturesque coves and numerous sea caves.

Hull & East Riding Museum

Located in the attractive museums quarter, the Hull and East Riding Museum boasts some of the most spectacular natural history and archaeological displays in Britain.

Hull City Museums

Hull’s museums and art gallery offer an insight into the pioneering spirit of the people and heritage of Hull throughout the last 700 years, and beyond.

Hull Marina

Hull Marina offers a picturesque setting on the Humber estuary, adjacent to Albert Dock and just upstream of the River Hull. The marina re-opened in 1983 in order to accommodate the ever-increasing demand for leisure craft moorings.

Humber Bridge

The ferry trip across the Humber took a minimum of 20 minutes dependent upon the weather and tide. Today though, 480,000 tonnes of concrete and more than 11,000 tonnes of steel wire later, the Humber Bridge offers a much more convenient crossing.

Rudston Monolith

Rudston Monolith, with a height of almost eight metres, is the tallest standing stone in Britain. Some believe its depth into the ground could be as much again.

Spurn Point

Spurn Point (or Spurn Head as it is also known) is a long, narrow spit of sand and shingle held together with mainly marram grass and sea buckthorn. It is a very unique place at just three and a half miles long and only fifty metres wide in places.
