 YO15 1BJ 5 hours  £2.90 all day In the car park At low tide the beach has rock pools to explore but perhaps more exciting there are the remains of the shipwreck SS Rosa including the boiler stuck in the rocks and also Robin Lythe’s cave - which you can get out of the other side at low tide. I’d checked the tide times and we arrived as the tide was going out; after the easy stroll down the tarmac road and steps to the beach we started to explore the left hand side of the cliffs and headed towards the arch. It wasn’t easy going as there were lots of slippy rocks to climb over and this resulted in a few falls too! You can explore the inlets and scramble through archways until you reach the edge of the rocks where you’ll find the boiler of the SS Rosa as well as other ship wreckage amongst the rocks. After returning to the beach we went to find Robin Lythe’s cave which is to the right hand side of the beach. This side is easier to traverse as you’re mainly walking on the eroded cliff as opposed to clambering across large boulders. There are caves to explore which take you under the cliffs, some of which you need to wade through and some just have knee high water which you’ll need to cross in places. As you enter the biggest cave via a narrow walkway, the cave opens up into a huge expanse, as you walk into the cave in the dark, the walkway descends towards the light at the other end. It was just past low tide and we were able to get out of the tunnel onto the rocks and explore the cliffs. When we got as far as was safely passable we followed our footsteps back through the cave to the beach again. At the top of the tarmac road which leads back to the car park there was a cafe and also an ice cream van if you needed refreshments. For only the cost of parking this was an extremely cheap but yet thoroughly enjoyable day out. |

Rosewood Cottage- Flamborough.
A delightful two bedroomed semi detached cottage, sleeping up to 5 in the beautiful village of Flamborough on the Yorkshire Coast, the cottage was comfortable, with gas central heating, it was well equipped with a modern kitchen boasting a washer and dishwasher and all the facilities to cook meals, including lots of cook books to help your choice.
The Lounge was comfortable with a tv and dvd player plus lots of dvd's, stereo and plenty of cd's, a large comfortable settee and dining table and an electric fire.
There are two bedrooms one with a double bed and one with a bunk bed to sleep 3, double lower and single upper. A family bathroom with bath and shower over.
Outside the back garden was a real sun trap with a picnic table for outside dining and plastic bench seats. There is also a boot room.
The cottage is close to the village centre with pubs, coop food store, chip shop and pharmacy. The coastal lighthouse and cliff top walks is a 20 minute walk or a short drive from the cottage. The seaside resort of Bridlington is a 15-20 minute drive.
Alison the owner was very friendly and gave us lots of information beforehand to enjoy our stay and also keen to hear any feedback we may have afterwards. We will definitely consider returning to this lovely accommodation in a beautiful part of the country.
