Overview

Join us for a hike along the cliffs of the Yorkshire coast. Starting at Bridlington, we'll follow the coastal path towards Flamborough Head, observing the Drinking Dinosaur (and hopefully some seals) on the way. Then we'll head towards Bempton Cliffs, an RSPB reserve, which will provide a great opportunity to observe a range of seabirds up close. From there, we'll walk the final stretch into Bempton village where we will then take a train back into Bridlington.
