Highlight • Monument

Lovely cliff walk from here all the way up to Bempton Cliffs, at the lighthouse there's a cafe and shop. Fantastic walk if you like birds, and you may even spot the odd seal if you keep your eyes peeled.

Flamborough Cliffs Local Nature Reserve

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lots of fantastic bays and rock formations due to erosion of this chalk headland, all viewable from the public footpath running all the way around Flamborough Head. Footpath is quite muddy, but not particularly boggy, in winter.
