Overview

Sewerby Park is a 50-acre estate situated on the clifftops overlooking the North Sea in Bridlington, North Yorkshire. The grounds center on a Grade I listed Georgian country house, Sewerby Hall, which dates back to the early 18th century. The estate features extensive landscaped gardens, including a walled garden and a formal rose garden. A zoo is located within the park grounds, housing animals such as ring-tailed lemurs, pygmy goats, and various species of parrots. Visitors have access to a cliff-top path that offers direct views of the coastline. The property includes a pitch-and-putt golf course and an outdoor children’s adventure playground. Throughout the year, the park hosts seasonal events and exhibitions within the house and orangery.

Insider tips

Check the local coastal weather forecast before visiting, as clifftop locations can be significantly windier than the town center.

Wear sturdy walking shoes to navigate the transition from the paved garden areas to the cliff-top trails.

Bring binoculars if you are interested in birdwatching along the cliff edges.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to walk along the cliff base on the beach, as tidal changes and rockfalls present significant safety hazards.

Good to know

The house and zoo facilities may have reduced operations or limited access during mid-winter months.

Etiquette

Dogs must be kept on leads within the park grounds and are restricted from certain areas of the zoo.
