Filey

Perfect timing for finishing our walk ... yesterday was gorgeous weather, today was cold and windy and wet. From tshirts yesterday to beanies and gloves today.

Filey is described as a 'charming seaside town', located on 7 miles of beach. It isn't far from Scarborough but doesn't have the crowds or excessive tourism.

Originally a fishing village, it grew to be a fashionable resort in the Victorian era when 'sea bathing' was the latest thing.

It's easy to imagine holiday-makers enjoying beach and sea activities but, today, no one was in the water and only a handful of dog-walkers braved the wind on the beach.

After battling the wind to walk out to the headland to officially finish our long distance hike, we explored Filey and hit the highlights on the tourist map. Given the weather, we ducked into the charming pubs to warm up (with a pint) and we couldn't leave the seaside without having a traditional fish dinner.

Mushy peas were optional, we opted out.Weiterlesen
