48 attractions and days out

East Riding of Yorkshire mixes coastline, countryside and city, and its attractions reflect that spread. Bridlington offers seaside entertainment and the Seven Seas Fish Trail, while nearby RSPB Bempton Cliffs draws visitors for its dramatic clifftop views and seabird colonies. Inland, farms and equestrian centres such as Howden Equestrian Centre and Woldgate Trekking and Livery Centre give families and riders plenty of options away from the coast.
Kingston upon Hull adds a different pace, with indoor attractions like Belong Hull and Hull Adventure suited to wet days or year-round visits, alongside creative options such as Pot a Doodle Doo for younger children. Goole and Brough fill in the gaps with smaller, local outings, including seasonal treats like Pumpkin Picking at Sandy Bottom Farm.
With such variety, it is worth deciding whether you want a coastal day, a city-based outing or something more rural, as the county's towns each lean towards a different kind of day out.
