Thornwick Bay to Bempton Village

This walk isn't for the faint hearted as it is a walk along the edge of very high cliffs and the day we went it was misty and the paths were slippery because of the recent rain. Along the way it passes the RSPB centre and an old RAF station. Just after the RAF station we took the very old lane to Buckton which was now just a track and very boggy.

This is where we joined the path when we walked down from the bus stop on the caravan park at Thornwick Bay.

In the distance is where we started the walk it goes in and out all the way along the cliff edge

The gannets collect the soil to build their nests and there are thousands of the earth blobs on the side of the cliffs. The noise in Spring is horrendous as they all sit there with their young on the nests.

Lots of puffins on the cliffs in Spring and summer so they have placed this carving of a puffin here

More of the earth blobs.

A friendly little bird joined us for lunch

The cliffs are very steep here but the vantage point is fenced as it is where the RSPB reserve has a nature walk--you can see that the path is covered with chippings if you look to the top of the picture. More earth blobs on the cliff as well

This is so steep but the camera couldn't capture just how steep

The Climmers used to scale all of the cliff's to collect eggs and out local paper said that some still do but we have never seen any I think it is illegal these days

The lane we walked up to arrive at Buckton fron the cliff top--what a strange name!

Arriving at Bempton to catch the bus back to Bridlington.

Hope you enjoy the walk with us and didn't fall over the edge !
