The massive peninsula of Flamborough is situated on the East coast of Yorkshire, England, and forms one of the most impressive landscapes of this stretch of coastline. The headland extends into the wild North Sea by approximately 6 miles.
To the North spectacular Chalk cliffs stand proudly up to 400 feet high. They are home to one of the largest nesting sea bird colonies in England. To the East are coves, sea caves and stacks. Rocky outcrops reach out into the sea and have claimed many a passing ship in the past. To the South the cliffs become smaller, but look out across Bridlington Bay.
Flamborough has much to offer the rambler, historian, geologist, archaeologist, ornithologist, day-tripper and local. The headland is a peaceful place, full of interest and enjoyment, which can often be missed by the casual observer.
The aim of this web site is to open up some of these gems and promote tourism, businesses, and environmental issues for the village. Eventually this website will provide a one-stop-shop for anyone wishing to visit for any length of time. |
