Good for families

Mixed weather but site good as ever

Spent three nights here early December. Never seen the site so quiet - only a dozen or so units on site when I arrived and it didn't get much busier after that. Weather was sunny first day, then foggy and quite cold, but still enjoyed my usual cliff walk from Danes Dyke to Flamborough lighthouse and back. Saw a number of seals relaxing on the rocks at the base of the cliffs and also spotted a couple of deer on the caravan site access road. I was born here and spent my first forty years living in the area. But for anyone unfamiliar with this part of Yorkshire, you won't be disappointed, particularly if you like the seaside (Bridlington, Filey, Scarborough and Hornsea all within easy reach). A train ride to Beverley (voted best place to live in the country by the Sunday Times a few years ago) is recommended. The clifftop walk, referred to above, requires a good basic level of fitness and some stout walking shoes, but you will be well rewarded for your efforts as the views are spectacular. Fit walkers should allow a couple of hours to get to the lighthouse (where there is a cafe and lots of seating overlooking the bay) then another hour or so to walk back to the site along the road. For keen bird watchers there is the RSPB site at Bempton Cliffs just three miles away and Sewerby Hall and Gardens (a half hour walk away) is well worth visiting.
