YORKSHIRE is home to arguably Britain's best food (Yorkshire puddings), has a fascinating history and natural scenery so stunning it spawned a thousand hymns. But away from the big tourist desinations like York's shambles and Whitby Abbey, there are plenty of lesser-known gems in 'God's Own Country' that deserve their moment in the - admittedly rare - sun. We asked Sun readers for the most underrated places within the region for our Best of British series , and they shared everything from their best seal-spotting beaches, to deserted medieval villages and a wild swimmer's paradise.
Sun reader Denise Brown said: "Fraisthorpe Beach is lovely and peaceful for a long dog walk and it has a wonderful cafe." Fraisthorpe Beach is a flat, sandy beach that forms part of Bridlington Bay - stretching for around 1.5 miles southwards, it's a popular spot for walkers and horse riders.
Considerably quieter that nearby Bridlington, it's great for visitors looking for a peaceful retreat. And for those who get hungry there's dog-friendly cafe and takeaway The Cow Shed located on the beach, selling everything from fry-ups to burgers and cream teas. The village of Fraisthorpe is quite small, with less than 200 residents.
But if you're looking for plenty of pubs , shops and restaurants, Bridlington is less than a 20-minute drive away. Location: Fraisthorpe Beach, Barmston, Driffield, YO15 3QU *if you click on a link in this boxout we will earn affiliate revenue Budget: Lobster Pot from £83 per ni.
