Exploring the Yorkshire East Coast Day 1: Thornwick Bay

mangonambo (46)in #travelfeed • 5 years ago

Sometime's to explore the world, you have to start at the place you grew up in. For me it is the United Kingdom. More specifically Yorkshire.

We are from South Yorkshire so we had to drive around 1 hour to get to the place we wanted to go which was a small holiday resort called Thornwick Bay in Flamborough, on the way there though what more is there to have then an English restaurant. We went to a pub that was part of a chain called "Sizzling Pubs" for Dinner.

It was around 1 PM by the time we got there so we decided to explore Thornwick Bay a bit. While there I looked at a Lifeboat that was on display called the "Friendly Forester" which was coincidentally the name of the Sizzling Pub that we ate in a few hours before.

Friendly Forester was a ship that served in Flamborough from 1953 - 1983 in her lifetime she saved 89 lives before been put on display in Thornwick Bay when it opened in 2018.

After that we decided to explore more of Thornwick Bay finding our way to the coastal path that lead to Flamborough Head which is where the Flamborough Lighthouse is located.

Eventually we went to her caravan and luckily I brought my laptop so I could do a few things there sadly the wi-fi wasn't very strong so I couldn't use the wi-fi.

After we left the caravan we went to the Funworks to watch some entertainment on the show. After which we played on the arcades for a bit before leaving for our caravan for a good nights rest.
