Filey train station

Posted by chris2005 5 June 2012

A grade II listed building which does have a ghostly eerie feeling as it is unmanned. It has a pretty footbridge.

Coble Landing

Posted by chris2005 5 June 2012

A scenic spot best seen from the viewpoint on the cliff above the landing. The fishing cobles are neatly lined up in a ledge in the cliff which serves as Filey's makeshift harbour.

Filey museum

Posted by chris2005 5 June 2012

This small but very informative museum is well worth a visit as it teaches you lot about Filey's vital fishing and tourism heritage. The museum volunteers are really friendly and will happily explain about the wide range of exhibits and more. There is a £2.50 entry fee

Filey Brigg

Posted by chris2005 5 June 2012

Filey Brigg is the most famous feature of Filey. A must do is to walk from Filey sands to the very tip of Filey Brigg and have the sea all around you splashing in your face - it is really exhilarating. But this is a dangerous walk as you can only do it at low tide and you MUST get off the brigg at least two hours BEFORE high tide to avoid being trapped on the brigg. It is wise to check the tide times before you set off. The times of the tides on each day are clearly posted around Filey sands.
