About Bridlington - show infohide info

Bridlington is a seaside resort town in East Riding of Yorkshire. Bridlington is a minor seaport on the North Sea. It began as an Anglo-Saxon settlement, with its name derived from Beohrtel's ton - the farm belonging to Beohrtel. Flamborough, one of the districts of Bridlington, is famous for the dramatic views of its seven mile long headland, Flamborough Head. Dane's Dyke, a 2 1/2 mile long prehistoric manmade dyke cuts through Flamborough and dates back the Bronze Age. It was not, as the name suggests, made by the Danes. Excavated in 1879 by Major-General Augustus Pitt-Rivers unearthed Bronze Age arrowheads. The town of Bridlington developed around Bridlington Priory, about a mile away from the sea. A small harbour and fishing port, known as Bridlington Quay, grew up where the Gypsey Race runs into the sea. In 16423 Queen Henrietta Maria landed with troops to support the Royalists in the English Civil War. Bridlington’s holiday boom took off after 1805 when the first hotel opened. It became a popular holiday resort for industrial workers from West Yorkshire. As travel abroad became cheaper and the industrial north declined, so did Bridlington fall from its place as a leading resort with a nationally famous dance venue at the Spa. The town gives its name to the Bridlington Agreement, an agreement between British Trade Unions not to steal each others' members Famous landmarks of the Bridlington area include the nearby RSPB Bempton Cliffs. This area of Bridington is a nature reserve renowned as a popular breeding ground for the Northern Gannet and Atlantic Puffin of which there are thousands along the cliffs. Bridlington Priory was founded in 1120 for Augustinian canons. Nothing of the current Priory however dates before the 13th century, as it was mostly destroyed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries and its last Prior, William Wode was executed at Tyburn for his part in the Pilgrimage of Grace. The priory church which is dedicated to St Mary remains intact however, and boasts 8 bells and a large 4 manual organ boasting the widest 'scaled' 32ft reed in the UK.
