The new Route YC campaign is helping visitors explore a choice of six destinations along the Yorkshire coast, including Spurn Point to the coves of Whitby, the golden sandy beaches of Hornsea and Bridlington, as well as Scarborough, Filey and Withernsea.
From driving and sailing to bikes, hikes and wildlife-spotting, the team at Route YC is encouraging families to create their own outdoor adventure around the Yorkshire coast and countryside this October half term, as well as spend more time getting off the beaten track to discover what the region has to offer.
The focus of the campaign is on sustainable and eco-friendly tourism; cultural immersion and local experiences; adventure and outdoor activities; wellness and relaxation; and food and drink tourism.

Visitors to the RSPB centre can rent a backpack with binoculars and spotters guides, which can help young people get excited about bird identification. Bempton Cliffs is home to gannets, kittiwakes and even puffins. There are well-maintained walking paths including some that even the smallest legs will manage too. Photo: Ellen Leach/Route YC
