Burton Constable
Burton Constable Hall and Gardens is arguably East Yorkshire’s finest country house – explore the grand rooms filled with fine art, paintings and furniture and then head outside for sprawling parkland walks and trails.
Aldbrough
Head towards the Yorkshire coast for some great views of the sea and countryside – but be quick and be careful – the cliffs are eroding fast at Aldbrough!

Flamborough
Explore the coastal village of Flamborough with its striking rugged white cliffs where you can enjoy the fresh air and see two lighthouses – one dates to the 17th century and was never actually lit. The area is famous for the Sea Battle of Flamborough Head in 1779.
Bempton
The coastline is home to RPSB Bempton – you can find huge colonies of nesting seabirds including gannets, razorbills and the bright coloured, cheeky puffin. Visit the Living Sea Centre, take in some rock pools and keep a look out for seals.
