3. Bridlington - 1 hour 57 minute drive
Whether you want to step into the past with Bridlington's famed Old Town - which was used as a location when filming 2016's Dad's Army - or want to see wildlife from across the globe at Sewerby Hall Children's Zoo, there's plenty for the whole family at this East Riding coastal town.

4. Filey - 2 hour 3 minute drive
Filey is perfect for those less interested in amusement parks and child-friendly fun, and who would rather connect with nature. The quite North Yorkshire seaside town has a beach that stretches over five miles, with striking coastal views and a museum for those interested in local history. Photo: James Hardisty
