Reighton Holiday Village to the end of Filey Brigg

We set off early on the bus that goes around the holiday caravan parks in summer. It is a lovely scenic route between Bridlington and Scarborough but does get full and takes a lot longer than the regular bus that runs all year round between the two places. The weather was hazy but nice and warm with not many people around at that time in the morning

Start of the walk at Reighton Gap which leads to the beach through woodland-a steep slope with a deep ravine to one side so care needed here

Almost at the beach

No one around and a pile of rocks or a war defences building that the waves have brought down over the years

Hunmanby Gap--the building on the right is a cafe that has been there for years but not sure if it will be there for many more years as the coast here is rapidly being eroded

Lovely pools left as the tide went out with birds looking for a tasty snack

Primrose Valley where the coast has almost gone and the road to the beach from the holiday park on the cliff above, is now closed as it is so dangerous.

I fancy staying here at some point before it disappears-the chalets and the flats look lovely and fancy waking up to that view.

The only way to travel lol

Filey in the background-almost there

Start of the walk into Filey-stopped for coffee and flapjack but had to stay inside as there were so many wasps around

Beach huts on the seafront--only three were occupied but the sign said that there weren't any vacant lol

One of the cobbled streets in Filey this one has a steep curve down to the seafront or up from the seafront from that angle

Filey seafront

Thought I would have a ride on this lobster which is part of the crazy golf on the seafront-we have played there in the past but it was closed today

Filey Yacht Club-not much left of it now unfortunately

Looking back towards the cobble landing--it is called that because of the unusual boats on there that are called cobbles

Erosion on show--I love this landscape that has been create by the erosion of the rock layer at the bottom--many of the huge rocks have cracks in them and won't last for many more tides so the landscape will change once again

There are lots of mussels on the rocks on the brigg and the man on the right is collecting them in a large bucket. We watched him sorting and washing them when we came back off the brigg. By then the tide was rushing in and covering the rocks and he had to rush back along the rocks as he had left his coat back where he is now--he just got there and back in time.

There used to be a path along the brigg but it is all distorted and twisted now and difficult to walk along

Where the hut is now is where you used to be able to walk up steps to the top of the cliffs but it is very dangerous now as the earth gives way underfoot it is so crumbly.-we decided not to go up it.

The end of the brigg with the tide coming in

To the left at the end

The sea crashes against the brigg and the sound is really loud

The seat has a little box attached with a guest book and pen inside so I put a comment-also an emergency phone in case you get cut off

More crashing waves

On the way back we saw swallows darting in and out of the holes they had made as their homes in the newly formed soft cliffs.

A welcome sight for me as we reached the end of the Filey end of the Brigg as I have a fear of rocks which I have slowly overcome in past years. This wasn't an easy walk but one that was well worth while.

Hope you enjoyed it with us
