Route Description
Our adventure begins at the historic Flamborough Lighthouse, perched proudly on the chalky cliffs, offering panoramic views of the North Sea. Take a moment to absorb the maritime history and enjoy the brisk sea breeze before setting off on our exploration.
As we traverse Flamborough Headland, you'll be captivated by the dramatic cliffs, sea caves, and secluded coves that adorn this wild landscape. Keep an eye out for seabirds soaring overhead, and perhaps catch a glimpse of playful seals in the crystal-clear waters below.
Our path then leads us to Thornwick Bay, a natural haven surrounded by towering cliffs and rock formations. This idyllic spot offers a chance to rest, soak in the coastal ambiance, and, weather permitting, dip your toes into the refreshing sea.
Entering the renowned RSPB Bempton Cliffs Nature Reserve, prepare for an awe-inspiring spectacle. These sheer chalk cliffs are home to one of the UK's largest seabird colonies, with an estimated half a million birds, including puffins, gannets, and guillemots. Our knowledgeable guide will share insights into the unique behaviours and habits of these fascinating creatures.
Our guided walk visits the Bempton Cliffs Visitor Centre, where you can delve deeper into the area's natural wonders through interactive exhibits and displays. Take a moment to reflect on the beauty of the coastline and the diverse wildlife that calls this remarkable stretch of Yorkshire home.
The tranquil surroundings provide an opportunity to appreciate the local flora and fauna before we continue our journey back to the lighthouse via ‘The Drinking Dinosaur’.
This guided walk promises an enriching experience for nature enthusiasts, history buffs, and anyone seeking a rejuvenating journey along the breath-taking Flamborough to Bempton coastline. Lace up your walking boots and join us on this unforgettable coastal adventure!
