"I'd taken my grandson fossil hunting at Hunmanby Gap — it's our little tradition. We were having a great time, found some lovely ammonites. Got back to the car park, and my grandson realised he'd put the car keys in his bucket with the fossils — then tipped the bucket out 'to look at them better' on the beach. Keys were somewhere in the shingle. After 15 minutes of hopeless searching, I called Bridlington Keys. Ian arrived, cut a new key right there. My grandson now insists on 'being in charge of the fossils only.'"

Why Drivers in Hunmanby Call Us
Hunmanby is a large village about 4 miles inland from Filey, perched on the edge of the North Yorkshire Wolds just 9 miles south of Bridlington. It is an old transport hub -- the village was once a major railway junction -- and today it sits at the crossroads of routes leading to Filey, Scarborough, and the Wolds. Its most distinctive feature is Hunmanby Gap, a beach access point where fossil hunters, dog walkers, and day-trippers park on the clifftop and descend to the shore. The shingle beach at the Gap has absorbed more lost car keys than we care to count, and it is one of our most-visited locations on the entire Yorkshire coast.
The holiday park belt around Hunmanby is exceptionally dense -- Primrose Valley, Reighton Sands, Muston Grange, and The Bay Filey are all within a few minutes of the village, and between them they bring tens of thousands of visitors to the area every summer. Holiday-park lockouts follow a predictable pattern: keys locked in caravans, remote fobs taken swimming and drowned, keys lost on the beach or in the clubhouse, and motorhome keys that have disappeared somewhere between the awning and the car. The surrounding farming community in the Wolds adds agricultural vehicles and rural residential calls to the mix.
The typical Hunmanby call is either a fossil hunter at the Gap who has lost keys in the shingle, or a holidaymaker at one of the parks with a locked-out caravan or dead fob. Our average response time is 25-30 minutes -- a short drive down the A165 -- and we can be on the beach or at your holiday-park pitch with a replacement key before the tide turns.
