Flamborough Headland

Good place to be on a sunny summer's day.


Mooring blocks for barrage balloons, remnants of WWll.


Bank of hardheads.


Bumblebee nest dug out by a badger ~ grubs and honey, mmmm yummy! A few bee survivors looking aimlessly lost when I first found it, all gone later.


Probably the best lunchtime view in England.

Early Warning



Early warning station of the cold war era, built overlooking the North Sea on the clifftop of the Flamborough headland. The vertical concrete pillars are part of a radar system pointing east and there is also a substantial subterranean network of tunnels and rooms - all now defunct and sealed up.

Best lunchtime....

..... view in England. Chalk cliffs north of Flamborough Head.



Just don't tell anyone, as I want to keep it for myself!

Old Lighthouse at Flamborough


The old lighthouse at Flamborough was built in the 17th century. It was intended that a fire be lit on the top to warn shipping of Flamborough Head (projecting into the North Sea), but there is no record of it ever being used. The modern automated light nearer the cliffs is much more effective!

Flamborough Lighthouse

Saving ships on the headland jutting out into the North Sea. High cliffs, wildlife and windswept coastal walks.
