Danes Dyke Nature Reserve — Attraction in Bridlington

Danes Dyje Coastal Walk from Sewerby Hall.

I walked with my U3A Strollers Group from Sewerby Hall Car Park along the coastal path towards Danes Dyke and along the woodland walk at the top of the Dyke. This is more level than the steep drop into the Dyke itself.

I plan to go back and explore the Dyke itself properly at different times of the year. The stream below was dry when we went, but I should imagine it's spectacular in full flow.

Accessibility - one of our members uses walking aids and managed so far on our route (until got tired). We saw one person in a wheelchair on the Coastal Path. I would think if you've got the right chair and fitness you can do the upper path (a bit like off road biking). I've not walked from the main entrance yet, so cannot give any info re that.

Car Park - free at Sewerby Hall, I understand there is a Car Park at Danes Dyke itself.

Refreshments - we called in at the Golf Club afterwards, there is also a cafe at Sewerby Hall.

Toilets - for our coastal and upper Danes Dyke walk back at Sewerby Hall (entrance fee into the grounds during the main season, but can beg at the...

Had a nice woodland walk leading to the limestone beach. Decent one way lane, down to the car park and parking was about the same as anywhere we have found on our holiday, at £4:20 for 3 hrs. You can pay by cash or by card. There is also an app you can download, or a phone number to ring or text, so multiple ways to pay. Although there is a map to show you the route in the car park, we did sort of get a little lost a few times, but nothing that was too bad. Typical woodland walk underfoot and a fair few steps that are uneven, so not ideal for those who are unsteady on their feet. Managed to take some lovely photos from top of the costal path and then down on the beach. Also on the walk, look out for the scream (see pics) very clever and made us laugh. Can’t comment on the cafe as it was closed by time we got back to car park at 4pm. Toilets were open but no lighting in the gents so didn’t use them. Nice way to spend an afternoon...

This place is a gem, I'm embarrassed I've lived well under an hour away all my life and today is the first time I have visited. Fantastic day out and the view from the first track leading to the beach is stunning. Myself and my three children had a great time and we was there bright and early at 9am. If it's a leisurely walk, paddled in the sea ( take old trainers or sea shoes as it's a rocky beach ) or attempt the hills and slopes in the dyke itself it has something for everyone. Finished off with a lovely portion of chips and a coffee before we left. Some idiots had left quite alot of empty beer bottles and cans on the beach which always bewilders me but didn't stop us having a...
