Filey Brigg is a long narrow
peninsula situated about a mile north of
Filey,
North Yorkshire. Its steep cliffs are 20 metres high and consist of a variety of material, from pure
sandstone to pure
limestone. The landward end of the peninsula of Filey Brigg is known as Carr Naze, whilst the long neck of rock at the seaward end is called the Brigg. In the early 1970s the fields on top of the Brigg were turned into Filey Brigg Country Park. The biology and geology of Filey Brigg place it among
Sites of Special Scientific Interest in North Yorkshire.
