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. |
