Sewerby Scenic Drive
2) As you enter the fishing village of Flamborough, you will see on the right the parish church, which contains two interesting monuments. One to St Oswald, Patron Saint of Fishermen. The other, showing a man with his heart bared, recalls the death of Sir Marmaduke Constable, who is reputed to have met his end in 1520 when a toad he had swallowed ate his heart! Close to Flamborough are two sites worthy of a detour. Turning off to North Landing will take you to a picturesque cove, in which fishermen`s boats huddle for shelter beneath the immense chalk cliffs. You may also want to pay a visit to the Flamborough Lighthouse and the nearby limestone lantern tower which survives from the 17th century. Turning left at the mini roundabout, you now follow the signs towards Bempton, taking a right turn into the B1229.
3) At Bempton, bird lovers will want to visit the RSPB bird reserve which is a mile out of the village. In Bempton, take a sharp left turn passing the village duckpond on your right and crossing the Bridlington to Scarborough railway line. After about half a mile, take a right turn and when you come to a T-junction turn left back towards the centre of Bridlington. You will clearly see the tower of the Priory Church, which is in the Old Town area, and has a nave dating back to the 12th century.
4) Turning right along Marton Road as far as the double mini roundabouts, you follow the A165 towards Scarborough, turning left after a mile towards Grindale and Burton Fleming. This road offers you fine views over the undulating Wolds farmland.
5) Passing through the small villages of Grindale, and Burton Fleming, you arrive at Wold Newton. Nearby is the source of the Gypsey Race, a stream which reaches the sea at Bridlington Harbour. Local superstition says that the stream reaches full spate prior to a natural disaster. This has earned it the nickname `Woe Waters`.
6) Three miles after leaving Wold Newton, take a left turn on to the B1249. You are now at the halfway stage of your journey. Langtoft`s position in a deep valley surrounded by chalk hill has made it susceptible to freak floods in the past. Major floods inundated the village in 1657 and 1892, when a wall of water 7.5 feet high gushed through the streets.
7) Once through the centre of Langtoft take the Kilham Road on the left which leads you along the floor of a typical Wolds Valley.
8) Kilham is a sprawling village; in the centre, turn left out of West End, then turn right next to the Bay Horse Inn. Once past All Saints Church and the Old Star Inn, you leave the village. Taking East Street out of Kilham, follow the road round to the right, signposted to Bridlington.
9) When you reach the junction with the A166 Driffield to Bridlington Road, the round takes you left.
You may wish to stop at the Bracey Bridge picnic site 200 yards to the right along the A166. The route takes a left turn opposite the Blue Bell Inn, (or carry straight on and visit the magnificent Burton Agnes Hall).
10) You are now on the road to Rudston. The whole area around Rudston was important in Neolithic times and was considered sacred long before christianity arrived. Chief evidence of this is the Rudston Monolith in Rudston churchyard.
11) Leaving Rudston on the B1253, head east towards Boynton. On the south side of the village and off to your right nestles the church of St Andrew with it`s unique lecturn suppported by a carved wooden turkey: the fowl was introduced to this country by William Strickland, whose family still owns Boynton Hall, on his return from America in the 16th Century.
12) At the junction of the B1253 and A166, you can turn left towards Bridlington Old Town or carry on in to the town centre for a plate of local fish and chips.
Rudston Monolith at around 25 ft high is the tallest standing stone in Britain.Rudston derives its name from 'rood stone': a cross or rood was placed on the monolith to christianise it. The churchyard is also the final resting place of the author Winifred Holtby.
Bridlington's Old Town is worth exploring for its many old inns, antique shops, Bayle Museum and Priory Church.

'Another Marsh Warbler made landfall, with a singing male located in thick umbellifer cover immediately next to the lighthouse mid-morning and remained in situ until the evening. Quite how many Bee-eaters visited the headland during the day was difficult to determine: one flew north-west over RSPB Bempton Cliffs at 0640hrs and a single called twice heading south over the Lighthouse at 1130hrs. Three Mute Swans flew north low over Thornwick, whilst a Hobby flew north over Hartendale early afternoon. Otherwise migrant passerines were decidedly scarce, with a Chiffchaff, one Garden Warbler, a female Black Redstart, one Grey Wagtail, a White Wagtail and two Siskins on the outer head. The Avocet remained at Thornwick Pools, whilst four Dunlin and five Ringed Plover also visited the remaining freshwater.....'

Peasholm Park - 36 mins drive from Rosewood Cottage
#6 of the Top 10 UK0 Parks - Trip Advisor Traveller's Choice 2013 & 2014
What do I see as I enter the park?
Peasholm Park has a tranquil lake and in the summer months people can hire boats of all sorts to enjoy the water at close quarters. Boats include traditional rowing boats and canoes but pedaloes with dragon heads are available too and these prove to be very popular with summer visitors and locals alike. If you don't fancy pedaling then go for a sail in the Swan launch where you can relax on the water and let someone else steer the boat. There is a bandstand in the middle of the lake and music concerts which are free of charge can often be heard during the summer season. During the tourist season there are two cafes where hot and cold drinks can be purchased and, of course, ice cream, plus sandwiches and full meals if wanted. What a beautiful place to sit sipping your coffee, looking at the lake whilst listening to the music. If you prefer, you can bring your own picnic. There are plenty of places to sit and enjoy it. There is an island in the centre of the lake and a bridge leading across to it allows the visitor to explore the island with a path leading round it or by climbing up to the top with its impressive pagoda. The park has been designed with an oriental theme and there is much evidence of this as you wander through its pathways.
What else does the park have to offer?
Peasholm Park has been designed within a natural glen with a stream running through it which culminates in the lake at the bottom. As you walk up the glen there are many choices of paths to take. You may wish to follow the stream with its gentle little waterfalls and small ponds, one of which is often used for sailing model boats. Even in the busy summer season the glen is quiet and peaceful, the perfect place to walk or sit and enjoy the natural features all around. The oriental theme can be seen in the design of bridges and the layout of many areas of the park. There are lots of rare and unusual trees and flowers, both naturally wild and deliberately planted. At the top of the glen is a lily pond surrounded by a garden area. Even the tourist attractions have not taken away the natural simplicity of the park so it is an ideal breeding ground for much wildlife. Wild geese, swans and ducks swim around on the lake and squirrels are seen every day within the woodlands. As time has gone on and some of the original trees have died, parts of their stumps have been specially carved into figures. Look out for the squirrel and the dragon!
Why have a friends group?
There is never enough money, time or manpower to do everything everywhere within the town of Scarborough that we would all ideally like to see. As a friends group, we try to add to and enhance what is being done by the Local Council and we are proud of what has been achieved since 2005 when the Friends group was set up. If you are interested in Peasholm Park and the Friends group, please look through the pages of the website to see what we are all about and what the park has to offer both historically in the past and for the present and future.
Better still. Come and see the park for yourself. You will not be disappointed.

A Message from East Riding of Yorkshire Council - Beach Chalets

Why visit Flamborough?
Holidays increase our ability to cope with stress, whilst also improving sleep which is important for immune system function, and lowering blood pressure which can reduce the risk of stroke and heart attacks'
Landmarks and lighthouses
Flamborough Head is an inspiring destination, with its historic landmarks and ancient lighthouses. The cliffs provide a focal point for the area, soaring up from the choppy sea and providing an ideal destination for both hikers and bird watchers.
Birds of a feather
Just a short distance away from Flamborough Head, Bempton Cliffs is a must visit for anyone visiting the Yorkshire Coast. The towering chalk cliffs are home to over 200,000 seabirds, including Gannets, Kittiwakes, Guillemots and Puffins. You can watch the birds from a number of official viewpoints, or explore the family-friendly visitor centre which is full of puffin memorabilia.
Explore the great outdoors
What Flamborough may be missing in ‘tourist attractions', it more than makes up for in gorgeous scenery and fresh sea air. Our top suggestions for anyone who loves the great outdoors include:
- Spend a day on the long sandy beaches of either North or South Landing, kite-surfing, rock pooling and (carefully) exploring the sea caves. You might also be able to spot some colourful cobble boats - a reminder of Flamborough's fishing history.
- Spend a night under the stars at Wold Farm campsite. Expect open fields, big skies and an uninterrupted view of both of Flamborough's lighthouses.
- Visit the Danes Dyke nature reserve - just a few miles from Flamborough Head and characterised by its stunning array of wildlife.
- Explore Rudson Monolith, an ancient hamlet between Sledmere and Bridlington, possibly dating back to the Neolithic times.
- Take a trip to Flamborough's ancient octagonal lighthouse, dating from 1674, or explore the 1806 shingle lighthouse on the opposite side of the bay.
- Hike along the North or South Landing, or from Bempton Cliffs to Flamborough Head, with panoramic views of the coastline.
- If the weather's not on your side, explore Flamborough village and its small collection of pubs and of course some traditional fish and chip shops.
