Filey's Heritage Coast
 This website and The Filey Bay Initiative have proposed a Heritage Coast for the Filey Area, reflecting the Town's rich and diverse Cultural and Historical Terrestrial and Maritime Heritage.  An extension of the existing Heritage Coast to the North of us is also proposed and this is supported by Filey's Town Council.  We hope that local communities will be consulted if ever this extension is formalised.  Follow this link for more information.
