Filey Museum sits in the town's old town, tucked near the 12th-century St Oswald's Church, and is housed in two former cottages dating back to 1696, believed to be the oldest domestic buildings in Filey. Inside, you'll discover the area's history of fishing, farming and seaside life, with exhibitions covering topics such as the Filey Gansey jumper, local food and drink through the ages, and the story of Queen Street. It's a good stop for anyone curious about the town's heritage, and opens on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays from 2pm to 4pm. The museum is close to Filey station and Filey beach, and with 161 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it's easy to combine with a seaside visit.
