Have a good look out to sea...
sourbugger Says: Cleethorpes is just about the southern end of the Humber Estuary. This massive natural feature is not exactly the most impressive natural feature in terms of beauty, but it does drain over 28% of England's water - filling the North Sea with the detritus from the Midlands.The...
alyf1961 Says: Ross castle was built by the The Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway Company in 1883-1885 and named after the company’s secretary Mr Edward Ross.It marks the highest original position of the cliffs.
alyf1961 Says: It is a British tradition for donkeys to give children rides on our beaches. The donkeys always look sad but I know from when I lived in Redcar that donkeys are usually well looked after and cared for.
alyf1961 Says: The road train at Cleethorpes goes from one end of the promenade to the other and costs £1.00 one way.
bonio Says: It's an impressive prom, if you don't want to walk there is a train. Usual array of fun-fairs and amusements, shame the pier is only open as a night club these days.
bonio Says: A great old seaside tradition, and good to see there are still some here. As a child I used to enjoy a ride on them, don't think I'd be allowed on one today!
bonio Says: If you've travelled to Cleethorpes from the North the chances are you will have crossed this bridge anyway. If not it's well worth a shrt trip to take a look. One of the largest suspension bridges in Europe, it crosses the River Humber. Drive across in a few minutes or take...
Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway
bonio Says: Minature steam railway running along the coast, as the name suggests.Had intended to ride on it but a collection of black clouds arriving and only uncovered seats left when we arrived. A good decision the heavens opened, shortly after, it would have meant a good soaking for...

alyf1961 Says: Mad cow make milkshakes using your favourite chocolates and sweets as flavour. I had a wispa milkshake and Katie had a smarties milkshake.
BOATERS BEACH RESTAURANT: A FINE VIEW
alyf1961 Says: Boater’s beach restaurant is a very nice restaurant and cafe on the sea front at Cleethorpes. We had latte and cake overlooking the sea. The latte was delicious.
No2 Refreshment room: Good place for a pint!
bonio Says: Comfortable bar on Cleethorpes station recommended to us for it's choice of beers. No food on offer but a great place to try excellent real ales at a reasonable price. Friendly place to wait for your train.
bonio Says: A brewpub is always likely to attract our attention, this one just along the road from our B&B a bonus. A lunchtime stop, tasty food and beer brewed on the premesis, Willy's original, very good as well. Mostly middle aged customers at lunchtime, called in early evening for a...

Cleethorpes has good infrastructure connections to the rest of the country.
It lies on the far end of the rail network, but is only just over an hour from Doncaster on the main East coast line. A train journey from London (changing at Doncaster) would take about three and a half hours.
Lincoln is also about a hour and a half away, although a change at Grimsby is often required.
Don't expect an impressive station at Cleethorpes - most of it is now a pub.
Road connectionas are also good with the M180 coming to within a few miles of the place - and this connects through to the A1(M) and M62.

sourbugger Says: Adapted from a BBC website about Cleethorpes:About 100 years ago, a passing whale made the huge mistake of swimming into the Humber estuary. When the tide went out, the whale floundered and was beached. The locals could do nothing to help the poor creature, and it died....
Watch out for killer donkeys......
sourbugger Says: You just have to read this abridged account from Hansard (proceedings of the House of Commons)Mr. M.Brown : I have the honour and privilege to represent the seaside resort of Cleethorpes. For most hon. Members, the word "Cleethorpes" conjures up visions of seaside, donkey...

None of it gets landed at neighbouring Grimsby anymore. It all comes by road from Peterhead, Lowestoft or Aberdeen.
Unique Suggestions: And they wee on it,
Fun Alternatives: Eat frozen peas without defrosting them.

Luggage and bags: Bring your own power supply as Cleethorpes is in the North of England and elecrticity is a new-fangled instrument of the devil.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Bring clothing
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Bring anthrax vaccine and foot powder.
Photo Equipment: Cameras will be stolen by the natives
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Bring thick wooly jumpers for sun bathing.

GTFC play their home games at Blundell Park which is actually in Cleethorpes, just a short drive from Grimsby.
My previous visit was around 15 years ago and in February, it was freezing! this latest visit in August 2008 for the first game of the 2008/9 season against Rochdale - weather wet and cold this time.
Anyway little had changed in Blundell Park over the years, a few more seats now and much more expensive to get in. I believe a new stadium is in the pipeline.
The game? it finished a 0-0 draw, though quite entertaining, and I had the correct score at the bookies down the road.

sourbugger Says: Those theiving little people at the tax office will be grasping their 17.5% in VAT (value added tax) for any amusement ride that you use in Cleethorpes. Even the donkeys on the beach are rated at 17.5%, as can be seen from this excerpt from Hansard (journal of the House of...
JohnnySpangles Says: Sit beneath the pier, listen to the waves and then dodge the vomit as someone throws up over the railings. Losing my virginity on the sand dunes. Then losing someone else's.

The Bonio's (re)visit to Cleethorpes
A revisit after around 15 years, Cleethorpes is still pretty much what is expected of a British seaside resort. Were heading home from a trip further "up north" and here was the ideal stopping off...
