With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy everything that South Beach, 55 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights starting with The Spa Bridlington, Bempton Cliffs and Bridlington Harbour. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Pebble Beach, 35 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Fountains Abbey. (But we’re also big fans of Lightwater Valley Theme Park and Newby Hall and Gardens.)
