Filey's origins go all the way back to early medieval times, when it was just a sleepy civil parish on the English coast. The Grade I listed St Oswald's Church still stands on a low, leafy hill on the edge of the town – it dates from the 12th century. Later times saw Filey develop into a lively fishing port, with white-painted cottages collecting around its central harbour and skiffs bobbing in the water. You can trace that heritage at the Filey Museum, where centuries-old carriages and boats are displayed in a restored fisherman's lodging from the 17th century.

Filey is a compact little town, centred on the neat lanes of Mitford Street and Station Avenue. You can easily walk between all of the main sights, the beachfront and the pubs and restaurants, if you're planning on staying in a Filey holiday rental, there. When it comes to breaking into the surrounding North Yorkshire countryside, it might be best to have a car at hand. Your own wheels can get you to the rocky cliffs of Flamborough Head in less than 20 minutes and up to the rolling North Yorkshire Moors in under 30 minutes.
Foodie travellers will have plenty to get through in the gastropubs and country restaurants of North Yorkshire. A whirlwind of Wensleydale cheese, parkin – a dark gingerbread – and homemade fruit chutneys are on offer in the delicatessens of the region. Then there are the frothing English ales that await in the pubs, the perfect accompaniment to a classic Sunday roast with all the trimmings –and a double serving of Yorkshire pudding, of course. Tearooms close to your Filey holiday home are the perfect place to recharge with steaming brews, after all those bracing walks along the beach. Be sure to order your mug with a side of sweet curd tart or a buttery shortbread biscuit.
