Cleethorpes in General

Overview ------------ Cleethorpes is on the North East coast. Over the past 40 years it has seen a real decline, however in recent years it's staging a bit of a come back!

Cleethorpes, where I come from (Doncaster), has long had a bit of a reputation for being a little scruffy and somewhere you probably wouldn't admit to having been. However, for the most part that has now changed and I have to say I am pleased about that as I now have a 2 year old daughter who loves the beach and Cleethorpes is literally a 45 minute drive away on a good day. Firstly, to get into Cleethorpes requires a bit of patience as once you hit the town center, the road structure is not great and doing that last mile can take over 15 minutes at best. The first thing that hits you is a kind of run down pier that has a lot of activity going on around it ...  Read the complete review

Cleethorpes is an ideal place for a day out. I'm not sure if there is enough in cleethorpes to keep you occupied for a week but theres enough for a day. We have found it a great place to go for a day trip in the winter as most things are open plus there is an indoor market in the winter at the end of cleethorpes.

This is literatulary next to the ...  Read the complete review

We usually try to go out for the day a few times a year and as we aren't going for a week to the coast this year we decided on a day out at the seaside. We chose Cleethorpes because of the railway stations close proximity to the sea front. Its only a two hour train journey from Chesterfield aswell. Cleethorpes is a North East Lincolnshire town on the estuary of the river Humber. Originally three villages called Itterby, Oole and Thrunscoe which were part of the wider parish of Clee, these three Thorpes later became one town named Cleethorpes. When we got there the first thing I noticed was the cleanliness of the beach, no litter just seaweed and ...  Read the complete review

Cleethorpes is the end of the line. True that. The local railway line terminates in Cleethorpes, the station is literally right on the beach, you can just walk down off the station, cross the road and you’re paddling (when the tide's in, that is). Now the really important question is, should you want to? Cleethorpes, for those of you that don’t know, is a coastal town in North East Lincolnshire. Known as ‘Meggies’ by the locals, for some reason lost in the mysteries of time. It’s often referred to as a seaside resort, but that’s not strictly true. Cleethorpes actually sits on the banks of the Humber Estuary, not the North Sea. However, it ...  Read the complete review
