The Yorkshire Wolds are a crescent-shaped
ridge of hills that fall to the sea at Flamborough, where the
400 ft chalky cliffs are home to breeding seabirds and a wealth
of geological and archeological features. This section of the
East Yorkshire coast curves in a gentle arc from Flamborough
Head in the north before bending inland at Spurn Head in the
south, a finger-thin isthmus of sand and pebble. The Yorkshire
Wolds and coast offers something for everyone, with empty
unspoilt beaches, traditional family resorts at Bridlington and
Filey, pictureque inland villages, the cathedral town of Beverley
with its tangle of old cobbled streets, and the city of Hull
with the famous Humber Bridge, the world's longest single -span
suspension bridge. |
