Bridlington named as one of the best places to retire in the UK
Bridlington has been hailed as one of the UK’s outstanding places to retire in a new survey.
The results of research by World Atlas revealed the seven best places across the country, with Bridlington and Beverley named as two top locations.
Bridlington was highlighted in the survey thanks to its two long beaches, great walks, the Old Town, and its heritage.
World Atlas said: “England offers retirees plenty of charming towns where they can enjoy a slower pace of life without giving up access to interesting attractions, beautiful scenery, and everyday amenities.

“Two long sand beaches sit on either side of Bridlington’s harbour, and the harbour is still a working one, with crab and lobster coming onto the quay.
“The town has 34,845 residents and a promenade that suits a walk of any length.
“It shares the East Riding housing market with Beverley, where the district average runs some £70,000 below the England figure – and that is unusual for an English seaside town of this size.
“Sewerby Hall and Gardens occupies a Georgian house in cliff-top grounds north of the town, looking back across Bridlington Bay, with walled gardens and a small zoo attached. Up the hill along High Street is the Old Town, the pre-Victorian half of Bridlington.
"The Priory Church of St Mary and the Bayle gatehouse anchor it. The chalk cliffs at Flamborough Head are a short bus ride out for anyone who wants a longer and windier walk.”
