The lighthouse up on the cliff top in Flamborough is a sight to behold, from this view point as you look down into the sea watch out for seals bobbing in the waves. The rugged cliff line provides excellent cliff top walks and breath-taking views across to the rspb Bird Sanctuary at Bempton and onwards to Filey Brigg. There are nesting gannets and colourful puffins here. Nearby there are some great destinations for days out.
