All Saints Church and The Old Folly, Hunmanby

Highlight • Historical Site

Hunmanby is a village on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds. It has plenty of eating and drinking options as well as accommodation due to its vicinity to both the Yorkshire coast and the Wolds. It was once the largest village in Britain but has since lost the title.

The archway on the edge of the village is a mock gothic ruin, The Old Folly, now a holiday lodge.

On display in All Saints Church on Church Hill is a Chain Bible dating from 1541. After the dissolution of the monasteries, Henry VIII demanded that an English bible be housed in every church and read to the congregation. As books were so expensive and rare at the time, the bibles were locked to the church by a chain. This is apparently one of only six surviving 16th century chain bibles.

The Old Folly Gateway

Highlight • Historical Site

The gate of an old church. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out what used to stand there, whether it was a monastery or something else. But I found this portal very impressive.

Bridlington Priory Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Bridlington Priory dates from 1113 and was once part of a bigger monastery of the Augustinian order. Only the nave remained after the destruction of buildings and that is what stands here today as the parish church.

St John of Bridlington, the last English person to become a saint before the reformation, was Prior at the monastery.

Clifftop Cycle Path Between Bridlington and Sewerby

Highlight • Viewpoint

A tarmac cycle path links Bridlington with Sewerby. The path stretches along the cliff and provides great views south towards Bridlington beachfront and north towards Flamborough Head.

Although there is a separate path for pedestrians, some walkers do end up on the cycle path so do take care not to ride too fast. Don't let this put you off as it really is great up here.

Bempton Village

Highlight • Settlement

A great spot to add on your trip if you like puffins. They begin to arrive in late April and start settling into their burrows in May each year. By late July most of the chicks have fledged and the adults begin returning back to the open sea. By August all the puffins have left Bempton Cliffs as they spend the winter in the northern oceans.
