About Filey    
     

Filey is an excellent resort for families wanting to escape to the seaside. It was once a fishing village and still retains the small town charm.

Filey became popular as a Victorian seaside resort and has some lovely buildings from this period. The Victorian facade of the Crescent is complemented by beautiful gardens and parks which have won Filey "Town in Bloom" awards on many occasions.

The Brigg is an excellent place to walk and explore and was once home to a Roman Signal station, the remains of which can be seen in the Filey town gardens.

Filey has a selection of traditional pubs, cafes and restaurants.
