Flamborough Cliffs lie a couple of miles, if that, south of Bempton Cliffs. Another big seabird colony is here, with more puffins than at Bempton. There weren't as many gannets here.
The weather wasn't as good as the previous day, with squally showers and winds that made one feel a little unsafe near high cliffs. Fortunately, North Landing has a large and pleasant cafe opposite the car park where you can get a cup of tea and wait for any squalls to pass before venturing back out.
Parking is straightforward, there is a large car park which is a pay and display one - you can either use coins, credit/debit card or an app. Don't try and skip the payment bit, they have ANPR cameras installed there.
Click on photos for larger versions. Except the Northern Marsh Orchid which is a crappy iPhone photo. The algorithm Blogspot uses seems to compress the thumbnails to fuck and they look worse than they really are. These are the jpegs from the camera (I have it set to large jpegs and also RAW, the latter have yet to be edited; I got as far as importing them but that's it). Once I get properly organised, I will open a Flickr account, or similar - nothing too fancy - and upload on there as well as the blog.
Flamborough wasn't as crowded as Bempton, which made an altogether more pleasant experience. Bempton is lovely but the sheer amount of people there made it awkward and a bit annoying at times.
