The town is as close as you can find to picture perfect

This seaside town is a popular holiday destination for people from Yorkshire but probably less well known in other parts of the UK.

A sandy strip of beach looks out to the water whilst beautiful old architecture fills the air in the town. This seaside town was at one time a fishing village and still features a historic promenade with beautiful Edwardian architecture and an impressive five mile beach. Welcome to Yorkshire describes the town: “Filey is a popular holiday destination for many people form Yorkshire, and it’s easy to see why when you get there. Highly recommended to visitors from further afield – it’s certainly in ‘hidden gem’ territory.”

Filey often goes overlooked as a seaside destination – despite easily being one of the best

No seaside holiday is complete without a fish and chips.

Favourite spots in the town include Ingham’s Fish, Dicky Bees Fish and Chips or CJ’s Fish and Chips. If you don’t fancy something with vinegar then you can grab an Indian at Monsoon Indian Cuisine or a Chinese at Golden Dragon. If you want to satiate that sweet tooth after you dinner then head to Shuga Shak on the water front.

Filey is easy enough to reach via train from London. According to Trainline you can reach the seaside town in less than four hours if you get a train from London Kings Cross to Doncaster, changing for Filey. Tickets cost just GBP29 one way.

If you pay more you can get there in less than three and a half hours.

Travelling so far away you will likely wish to stay the night rather than making the journey home in one day. Booking.com offers a variation of accommodations in the local area. you can book a room within walking distance from the beach for just GBP95 a night. So why not visit this beautiful spot of Yorkshire before it’s filled with tourists? Have a story?
