The Bayle Museum occupies a Grade I listed former gatehouse in Bridlington's Old Town, once part of Bridlington Priory and later used as a prison, courtroom and garrison. Today it houses a collection dedicated to the town's history, with an annual themed exhibition filling the large top floor Courtroom, plus interactive displays and lifelike models added during a refit. It suits families and school groups, with guided tours and customised sessions available, and educational visits offered free of charge. The museum is open weekday mornings and afternoons, closed at weekends. Staying nearby is easy, with Bridlington station 0.7 miles away, the North Beach a mile off, and 198 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
