RSPB Bempton Cliffs

Mesmerising, breathtaking, amazing, awesome - just some of the words our visitors use when they talk about RSPB Bempton Cliffs on the glorious Yorkshire coast. Around a half-a-million seabirds - including gannets, puffins, guillemots and razorbills - flock here in spring and summer. Six, safe, cliff top viewpoints give spectacular views of the nesting birds and the dramatic coastline. The Seabird Centre, at the heart of the reserve, tells the story of the wildlife on the cliffs. Four of the viewpoints are fully accessible with a hard surfaced path linking them in a circular route. RSPB Seabird Cruises sail from Bridlington Harbour throughout the season giving visitors an incredible opportunity to see the colony as seabirds swoop and soar all around. In autumn and winter, when mists fall and winds whistle, a clifftop walk is a great way to get away. RSPB Bempton Cliffs is one of the truly unmissable British wildlife wonderlands. Events and activities throughout the year.

I have visited RSPB Bembton Cliffs many times to photograph the wonderful seabirds that call the cliffs home, but this is the first time since reopening after the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions were eased. the day we visited there was quite a heavy sea fret, but that did not deter us, it was a long awaited trip, and we were going to make the most of it! we were greeted by the team, who explainged the one-way system for accessing the toilets, and the reduced service at the cafe (through a hatch round the back of the visitor centre) providing welcome refreshments and a slice of cake! there were plently of staff and volunteers along the trails, even though there didn't appear to be as much to see in the reduced visibility, they were all cheery and approachable for a chat. most of the other visitors were also being sensibletoo, which is greatly appreciated by all and sundry. bempton is a lovely day out, when fully visible the scale of birdlife on the cliffs is astounding, well worth the visit - there is plenty room , and plenty of trail to follow to nearby places if you continue past the boundries of the reserve. give a minimum of 4 hours to have a good walk and take time to observe the wildlife around the stages that have been strategically placed, but most of all stay safe and be aware of others around you when stopping.

Priory has currently achieved 5 years of business with two shops open now, with the original store located on Manor St. and the newer shop located at Victoria Mill. With two shops at disposal, Priory have divided their contents as the Manor St. shop consists of streetwear, skatewear and novelty accessories, whereas the Mill contains premium menswear and accessories. Since the opening of the second shop in 2014, Priory has developed a refined ambience that is accentuated with the company of a barbers and a bar/coffee shop in the same vicinity of Victoria Mill - providing a well needed combination that hasn’t been seen before.

With Linda114 fed up of looking for coffee shop and on way back to car park when we spotted this place. Absolutely fabulous. Four adults 3 Briards (a little wet as well) and not a complaint from the staff. Welcomed in and very well looked after both the hoomans and the dogs. Fabulous place and we will return whenever in Brid. Really appreciated the welcome when most other places were shut. You must pay it a visit, a licensed bar as well as coffee and cakes, a hairdressers and a clothes shop. Deserves every great review it gets..

My Visit wasn't to appreciate any one of the 30 horses but finally after 2yrs a space had risen for me to enable me to have my caravan stay on there as long as I wished plus being in artist painter David Hockey and his landscape world. Yes should you be lucky sometimes a pitch for your van along with 12 others be there surrounded by wildlife,woods and nature away from the hustle and bustle of the town of Bridlington and you can still hear the sea. It's a good idea when a small piece of land can be used for the Caravan owners to be able to stay and nearby you can walk the wold.......and then those lovely horses also within hear shot. Why go to Spain or America when our country can deliver.

Visited in early August, we enjoyed great weather, lovely walks around the area, we spent time watching the seals playing, and following the kayaks around the headland, get there early as the car park gets very busy.

The cow shed is a lovely ( posh upmarket ) little cafe with a very good chef delivering delicious food with friendly staff , its a very safe place during this pandemic as they are taking every precaution on our behalf. Yes the food is expensive compared to other cheap and cheerful seaside cafes , but this one isn’t serving you cheap rubbish!!! you get high end restaurant quality food in a lovely stylish environment, so the food and venue is well worth the extra cost . If you want tea in a crappy mug and a burger with no meat in it try somewhere else .

I thought we would pop in for the morning...see a few animals and birds...didnt expect such an immersive and hands on day, feeding wallabies, emus and other animals. Great informative demonstrations with those stripy animals that annoy everyone in America, whose name I have forgotten, brilliant flying display and talk about birds of prey, handling reptiles and a barn owl. A FAB day out, thank you!
