Things to do in Filey when it's raining

Inspired by Warren Zevon's "Things to do in Denver when you're dead", here's some ideas to stop the holiday becoming a miserable disaster.

  • Catch a train - they go to Scarborough, Bempton, Brid, Beverley and Hull
  • Catch a bus - the countryside's lovely
  • Go swimming - in the sea if you like (it's only rain after all), but there's Leisure World on the front in Brid, another one in Scarborough, and if you fancy a drive there's waterworld just north of York.
  • Visit Burton Agnes. A magnificent Elizabethan mansion in The Wolds. Can be done by bus from Brid.
  • Sewerby Hall - just outside Flamborough. Was a small stately home, now a museum with a lovely little zoo. You can catch the land train here to/from Brid, or there's buses direct from Filey.
  • Go see a film - both cinemas in Filey are long gone, but there's a cinema in Brid and three in Scarborough.
  • Check out the local hostelries and follow it up with fish and chips. Guaranteed to brighten any day.
  • Visit The Deep - it's in Hull, but trains go there.
  • Go for a walk on the beach
  • Eden Camp - a fair way, but plenty of it's indoors.
  • Yorkshire Air Museum - a fair drive, but if aircraft float your boat.
  • Hit the charity shops and buy a book or two
  • Stay in bed
  • North York Moors Railway - a fair way to Pickering, but from there the trains now go all the way to Whitby (sometimes)
