I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside





Ventured to the coast in Yorkshire at Flamborough and Bempton. Cold windy and wild. We weren't game to play golf at the course shown in one of the photos but it would have been spectacular and challenging!

Further along at Bempton Cliffs there is a nature sanctuary run by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (http://www.rspb.org.uk/). At other times of year it is one of the best vantage points to observe birds migrating from Europe but we were lucky to see dozens of guillemots amongst the cliff crevices. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillemot .

Both Flamborough & Bempton featured striking chalky cliffs and caves.
