Route YC helps 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 and everything in between, including Scarborough, Filey and Withernsea.From driving and sailing to bikes, hikes and wildlife-spotting, the team at Route YC wants to encourage families to create their own outdoor adventure around the Yorkshire coast and countryside this spring 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.
9. Marine Discovery Centre, Whitby
The top three European ports for landing lobsters are Bridlington, Scarborough and Whitby, so why not find out more about them at The Whitby Lobster Hatchery, based at Marine Discovery Centre. They want to conserve the region's lobster stocks and plan to release 100,000 juvenile lobsters back into the wild annually. At the centre, you can learn more about the wonderful sea life found along the Yorkshire Coast. Photo: Route YC
10. Dionosaur coast
Hunt for fossils in Robin Hood’s Bay. The Yorkshire Coast is also known as the Dinosaur Coast and this is the perfect activity for dinosaur mad young people. Go hunting for ammonites, belemnites and the delightfully named devil's toenails (gryphaea). After stormy weather is the best time to look. Alternatively, you can spot a dinosaur near Bridlington, ok so it isn’t a real one, but it is an amazing natural rock formation found at Flamborough Head. Photo: Route YC
