Filey Museum
Recommended by
Overview
The museum is in an old fisherman’s cottage – the oldest building in the town apart from the church, with its roots in 1696. It’s a great little place, manned by local enthusiasts. One unusual display relates to the fishermen’s knitted jumpers, called ‘ganzeys’; in the seashore room you can make your own rubbings of various natural forms and learn about the fossils found along this coastline.

About the area
North Yorkshire, with its two National Parks and two designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is England’s largest county and one of the most rural. This is prime walking country, from the heather-clad heights of the North York Moors to the limestone country that is so typical of the Yorkshire Dales – a place of contrasts and discoveries, of history and legend.
