So where do Yorkshire folk go away for their holidays? They head east to… Yorkshire. Westwards lies Lancashire, which is pretty much no-go. In the opposite direction, though, lies the safety of East Yorkshire and a spread of well-known coastal resorts, plus a bit extra to entice the more adventurous.
I’m stereotyping, of course, but there’s more than a smidgen of truth here. Rather than going east, we were coming up from Somerset, and despite lots of previous experience of the likes of Scarborough and Whitby, were easily able to find plenty more to entertain us.
Hence a packed itinerary that included visits to Spurn Point, Hornsea, Bridlington’s Old Town and Saltwick Bay – all of them new to us.
Welcome, then, to Route YC (Yorkshire Coast) and our first holiday of the year. Route YC? This recent initiative is designed to make you linger on the furthest outliers of England’s largest county.
We crammed everything into a pre-Easter week. I’m sure that you can do better!
Spurn makes a point
A great start to our explorations, with an instant highlight. These days, Spurn Point, the distinctive teardrop-shaped spur of land dropping out into the Humber Estuary, is a remote nature reserve. You can walk or cycle the three miles to its tip, or hop on a Unimog for a 4x4 guided trundle.
