The ward of Bridlington Central and Old Town sits at the heart of seaside Bridlington on the Holderness coast, facing the North Sea. It encompasses the historic Old Town around the harbour and the shopping streets linking the Victorian bays, with cobbled lanes, traditional fish and chip shops and the tower of Bridlington Priory providing a strong sense of place.
There’s a blend of fishing and maritime heritage with a modern tourist economy: small independent retailers, cafes and leisure businesses swell in summer while a settled year‑round community maintains local clubs and events. Its position in the East Riding of Yorkshire and proximity to wildlife attractions such as Bempton Cliffs make it popular for short breaks as well as everyday coastal life.
