Filey Brigg is a promontory, jutting out 1600 metres into the sea. Below the
cliffs, the promontory continues as a blade of rock, barely above the waves.
At low tide, this rocky point is a haven for fishermen, naturalists and fossil
hunters.
The Spittal is an enigmatic rock structure running out from the Brigg, which
may be the remains of an ancient harbour, perhaps serving the Roman signal station
which used to be on the cliffs above.
