Known for
Filey Brigg (the dramatic rocky headland), the beach (one of Yorkshire's finest), the Filey Dams nature reserve, and a small North Yorkshire seaside town beloved for its traditional character
A little history
Filey has been a seaside resort since the Victorian era — its beach, sheltered by the Brigg headland, is one of the finest in Yorkshire. The town has retained more traditional character than many Yorkshire resorts, with independent shops and a genuine community feel. The Brigg itself is a fascinating geological feature.
Filey Brigg for the headland walk — extraordinary coastal views at the tip. The beach is excellent and less crowded than Scarborough. The Filey Dams for birdwatching. The town's independent shops on Murray Street.
