Hallowkiln Wood

You won't find crowds at Hallowkiln Wood. This small forest near Bridlington offers a proper escape from the coast - the kind of place where you can actually hear yourself think. The woodland paths wind through established trees, giving you that lovely enclosed feeling even though it's only a few minutes' drive from the holiday parks around Reighton Sands and Thornwick Bay.

It's ideal for a bracing walk rather than a destination in itself. Families with younger kids might find an hour here enough before heading back to base, though if you're into woodland spotting - birds, insects, mushrooms depending on season - you could easily stretch it to ninety minutes. The paths are well-trodden but can get muddy after rain, so proper footwear matters.

The real appeal is its position as a proper change of pace during a park holiday. After days of beach visits and amusement arcades at Bridlington, this gives you something quieter without eating up the whole day. It's the kind of stop you make because you're staying nearby, not something you'd plan a special trip for - but that doesn't make it less worthwhile. If you're based at Haven Reighton Sands or Flamborough Glamping, it's close enough to fit in before breakfast or as a late afternoon break. Walking types will appreciate it more than families after constant entertainment.
