check the tides

Takes about 2 hours from cayton bay along the the Cleveland way to Filey couple of uneven parts on the way but relatively an easy walk

Happened to be here on a lovely sunny day, but with 40mph winds - It was a great walk out on the Brigg but 'blowing away the cobwebs' a bit of an understatement!

Lots of viewing platforms along the clifftop public footpath, but early morning in December is definitely not the best time to view the birds, I didn't see many species or individual birds at all. Maybe I scared them off :). Summer probably much better when they are nesting.

The Rudston monolith is the tallest prehistoric standing stone in Britain, measuring almost 8 metres high, nearly 2 metres wide, a metre thick and estimated to weigh somewhere in the region of a massive 26 tons. This giant block of grey sandstone or gritstone was errected here either in the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age and is thought to have been quarried more than 10 miles away in the Cayton Bay area south of Scarborough, although the glacial transportation of a large block of stone that was then shaped and utilised by the prehistoric residents of the area cannot be ruled out. The top of the stone has been weathered and eroded into a fluted peak similar to the stones of the Devil's Arrows and a lead cap was first added to try to preserve it in the 18th century. The churchyard of All Saints that it stands in is of course much younger and although the christianisation of the site took place around 1100AD the stone had already stood here for at least 3000 years. The monolith stands close to the Gypsey Race, an occasional stream that flows along the floor of the Great Wold Valley from close to the barrow of Duggleby Howe in the east, past another pair of barrows at Wold Newton and Willie Howe before turning south past the Argham Henge and Cursus down to Rudston itself where it bends sharply and heads eastwards to the sea at Bridlington. The whole of the Gypsey Race landscape was obviously important in prehistoric times and holds a rich selection of sites, most of which have been destroyed or badly damaged by ploughing, including many round barrows, several long barrows, four cursuses and at least one henge. It continued to retain its importance into the historic period - a major Roman villa was discovered to the southwest of Rudston village. In the corner of the churchyard is a much smaller stone presumably brought here from a local barrow and also the remains of a double cist that was removed from a nearby barrow on Rudston Beacon by the antiquarian Canon Greenwell in the late 19th century.

A few good places to eat here. BUT watch the seagulls. There's also a speedboat and pirate ship which leaves at regular intervals.

Situated in the churchyard in the village of Rudston, this monolith, which stands at over 25 feet, is the tallest megalith in the United Kingdom.

The mouth of the Gypsy Race river is thought to have been used by shipping from antiquity, with owners of the port being known from before the Norman Conquest, and the harbour being documented from 1113 when it was granted to the Augustinian Priory at Bridlington. Taken over by the Crown at the Dissolution, the piers enclosing the harbour were rebuilt in 1538 as rock-filled timber frameworks. Constant erosion by the sea at the landward end of both piers required frequent additions to the structures to reconnect them to the retreating cliffs.
