Why it's Wildland

4.8

Filey’s broad sandy beach opens onto Filey Bay, with the town’s former fishing-village identity now part of a well-established seaside resort. Nearby Filey Brigg is described as a coastal walk with views and opportunities to look for seabirds and seals.

Filey offers the simple pleasures of a long sandy shore and open sea air, with a more exploratory coastal walk at nearby Filey Brigg. It is a popular resort rather than a secluded wild coast, so its appeal is the combination of beach, town and accessible coastal scenery.
