Butlins Filey Holiday Camp

A look at the history of Butlins Filey Holiday Camp on the North Yorkshire coast. Almost 40 years after the closure of Butlins Filey, I took a walk along what’s left of the old railway line and station that was built specifically to serve Butlins, as well as looking at what’s on the site now.

With the British staycation likely to be as popular as ever this year, Butlins have been specialising in this for over 80 years – even offering transportation by train to its holiday resorts since the 1940s. There is little left of the original holiday camp but this is still a great story of the Yorkshire coast.
