Blue Dolphin Holiday Park

Set on the clifftops overlooking Gristhorpe Bay near Filey, Blue Dolphin Holiday Park is all about that panoramic sea view - the kind you don't forget. Walk across the large open green, over a stile, and the clifftops form a natural viewing platform across miles of coastline. The sloped coastal path winds all the way down to Filey beach three miles away, or you can join the Cleveland Way National Trail right from the park edge.

The park holds AA 4-Star Holiday Park status and sits on the stunning Yorkshire coast between Filey and Scarborough. Both resorts are a short drive, so you've got proper seaside towns within easy reach when you fancy fish and chips or a morning on golden sand. Closer still, the fishing lake on park offers eight swims for carp, roach and tench - peaceful when you need time away from the busier facilities.

Speaking of facilities, there's a heated indoor pool with multi-lane waterslide, plus a seasonal outdoor pool that runs late May through to the August bank holiday. The indoor SportsDrome includes a climbing wall and roller disco for weather-proof entertainment, and you've got crazy golf, junior Segways, and outdoor play areas scattered around the grounds. Two entertainment venues keep things lively throughout the day and evening - shows, music, and events that cater to all ages without feeling forced.

For owners, Haven run an owners-only lounge and gym, plus exclusive events throughout the season including the Summer Spectacular and End of Season Party. There's also a wine club and owner-only day trips - the social side of ownership if you want it, or simply the peace of that clifftop location if you don't.

The park slopes up towards the clifftop, so it's a mix of flat and hilly areas - worth knowing if mobility matters. Birchside and Maple Rise sit on flatter ground with parking next to your holiday home. The location itself puts you between countryside walks and coastal views, with Flamingo Land theme park and Scarborough SEA LIFE Centre nearby for family days out.
