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.

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.

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.

Rudston Monolith

Highlight • Natural

The Rudston Monolith is an impressive standing stone found in a churchyard in Rudston village. Towering at 25 feet (7.6 m), it is the highest standing stone in the UK. The stone is shrouded in mystery. It probably dates back to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age period (2500 - 800 BC), although the exact date is unknown. Some people believe that there is a dinosaur footprint on one of its sides.

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.
