An Introduction to Flamborough

Flamborough village and headland is situated on an easterly coastal point of the East Riding of Yorkshire in England. The headland extends out into the North Sea by four miles and this accounts for its unique characteristics and climate. The beautiful scenery and dramatic chalk cliffs provide a stunning backdrop for its residents which attract a host of visitors and tourists every year. The Lighthouse is a prominent feature. Visible for miles night and day, it has provided a comforting sight for mariners and fishermen past and present, however dangerous rocks and tides have claimed many shipwrecks in the past. East Riding of Yorkshire Council provide tours around the Lighthouse. The village is traditionally a working fishing village and this character is still evident today. The centre of the village boasts a traditional conservation area and the whole area is rich in history. Flamborough provides a haven not only for tourists and holidaymakers but for historians, archaeologists and ornithologists too.

Flamborough's Special Designations

Flamborough Head, a chalk outcrop, was designated a Heritage Coast in 1979. Flamborough is home to Local Nature Reserves at South Landing, Danes Dyke and the Head which were designated as such on 14th May 2002 as places with wildlife or geological features that are of special interest. The designation offers statutory protection and the sites are sensitively managed. Flamborough's marine and cliff environment is so important it is protected as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Marine Special Area of Conservation. Flamborough is a site rich for birdwatchers keen to spot many species and rare birds especially in the spring and summer months and due to its seabird colonies Flamborough is designated a Special Protection Area.  For further details, publications, reports and information on Flamborough Head Management Plan and Flamborough Head Draft Voluntary Codes of Conduct please click here.

1909 Fishing Disaster Plaques

Two white marble memorial plaques to the 1909 Flamborough fishing disaster have been returned to Flamborough by Mr Robert Daykin, landlord of the Telegraph Inn in Bridlington who realised the importance of the plaques when they were found on an allotment plot on Sewerby Road, Bridlington.  The plaques are identical to the inscribed plaques currently on the Fishermans Memorial and are thought to be the original ones.  The Parish Council is interested in completing the history of the plaques and their interesting story and is seeking information as to why there are two sets of plaques, why and when one set was possibly removed from the Memorial, where they have been and how they got to an allotment site in Bridlington?  Any details - please contact the Clerk to the Council on 07474681368 or email clerk@flamborough-pc.gov.uk
