Places to visit in Yorkshire
Yorkshire is more than just a destination; it's a vast treasure trove of beauty, culture, and adventure waiting to be explored. If you choose to stay at our Primrose Valley, Reighton Sands, Blue Dolphin or Thornwick Bay holiday parks, you’ll have a choice of a wide array of destinations to explore.
While the holiday parks offer a world of entertainment, the varied towns of Yorkshire hold a wealth of attractions to visit. Here's a glimpse of what awaits you.
Flamborough
Flamborough, with its dramatic chalk cliffs and rugged coastline, is a coastal gem not to be missed. Explore the Flamborough Headland Heritage Coast, where you can take scenic walks along the cliff tops and witness breathtaking views of the North Sea. Don't forget to visit the iconic Flamborough Lighthouse, a symbol of this picturesque village. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the birdwatching opportunities, and you can also take boat tours to explore sea caves and spot seals.
Filey
Filey, known for its sweeping sandy beaches, is perfect for a relaxed day by the sea. The Brigg, a narrow peninsula, offers excellent coastal walks and opportunities for birdwatching. Visit Filey Bird Garden and Animal Park for a delightful family experience, or take a leisurely stroll along the award-winning promenade, enjoying views of Filey Bay.
Bridlington
Bridlington is a charming coastal town that offers a mix of sandy beaches, traditional seaside amusements, and historic charm. Spend a day at Bridlington Beach building sandcastles and enjoying beachfront attractions. Explore the Old Town with its cobbled streets and visit Sewerby Hall and Gardens for a dose of history and culture. For a fun-filled family adventure, head to Bridlington Spa, the renowned dance hall and theatre for entertainment and shows.
Scarborough
Scarborough, with its bustling seafront and rich history, is a must-visit destination. Explore Scarborough Castle perched high on a headland to gain stunning views of the coast. Spend time at the South Bay beachfront, enjoying traditional fish and chips and amusement arcades. Also, be sure not to miss Peasholm Park, where you can watch replica naval battles on the boating lake and take scenic boat trips along the coast.
Whitby
Whitby, steeped in maritime history and famous for its connections to Bram Stoker's Dracula, is a captivating coastal town. Explore the ruins of Gothic Whitby Abbey, which overlooks the town and offers panoramic views of the harbour. Wander through the quaint streets of the old town, filled with charming shops and seafood restaurants. Be sure to try Whitby's famous fish and chips, and don't leave without climbing the 199 steps to St. Mary's Church.
York
How could we ignore the jewel in the crown of Yorkshire? The historic city is best known for its Roman and Viking roots which are celebrated at the JORVIK Viking Centre, an excellent destination for kids. However, York also features York Minster, a truly beautiful cathedral which is one of the largest of its kind in Northern Europe, impressive city walls, dungeons, and numerous other museums such as the National Railway Museum, York Art gallery and the York Castle Museum.
York has a wonderful suspended-in-time atmosphere and many gorgeous places to explore. Head down the narrow, cobbled lanes lined with fabulous independent shops and designer boutiques. We also recommend you visit the Shambles district which is dotted with timber-framed buildings dating back to the 14th century, and don’t forget to stop for a Yorkshire tea at one of the many charming cafes and cake shops along the way.

Let2offset - make no site fee payments for 7 years
Let2offset is a contractual lettings product that offers eligible owners a guaranteed letting income at a preferential rate (calculated each year) in exchange for a stipulated number of letting breaks. It also allows eligible owners to pay their site fees and receive their letting income in 12 equal monthly instalments; the monthly site fee amount charged by Haven will be after deduction of the letting income.
‘Make no site fee payments when using Let2offset for 7 years’ is available at 33 Haven parks excluding Burnham, Cardigan View, Far Grange, Garreg Wen, Lydstep Beach, Riviere Sands and Seaview. The letting income received will vary by make, model and location. The monthly site fee payment does not include running costs e.g. utilities, rates & insurance.
‘Make no site fee payments when using Let2offset for 7 years’ is applicable to new and existing customer purchases of new Victory Ashberry 3 Bed or equivalent grade holiday home purchases made through Haven where customers have also signed up to Haven’s Let2offset contract. It is not applicable to private sales and cannot be used in conjunction with our free Site Fee promotion.
An example of how ‘Make no site fee payments when using Let2offset for 7 years’ operates under Let2offset is the purchase of an Victory Ashberry 3 Bed holiday home at Seton Sands with a monthly site fee of £667.08 (includes purchasing discount of £17.08) and monthly letting income of £673.17. The monthly difference equates to £23.17, which will be credited to the owner's account. Both letting income and site fees are subject to yearly pricing reviews and the monthly site fee costs and letting income shown in the example are based on 2025 figures.
Modelled assumptions on expected annual site fee and letting income charges over the 7-year lettable life of the Victory Ashberry 3 Bed indicate that under Let2offset it is anticipated that these customers will continue to receive a monthly credit during this period, however, this is not guaranteed. The modelled assumptions are based on the historical performance of Haven over the past 5 years of trading as of 2024.
