RSPB Puffin & Gannet Seabird Cruises, Bempton Cliffs - 18 JUL

A picture taken of the cliffs looking towards Flamborough Head by yours truly back in May Bempton cliffs boat trips 2020 list been birdwatching or birding for almost my entire life, and in close to 30 years I have been to some amazing places and seen my fair few of weird and wonderful species.

But there are few places that can compare with Bempton Cliffs. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds RSPB manage the reserve, that covers just a few miles of coastline and yet, bempton cliffs boat trips 2020 list February and October the stunning feet high white chalk cliffs play host to one of the Earth's greatest wildlife spectacles.

Each spring more than half million seabirds flock back to the cliffs after a winter spent out at sea to breed. The sights, sounds and yes the overpowering smell are all a joy to behold. I live approximately 3 hours away from the cliffs in a landlocked part of the UK, so to be able to come and witness and revel in such a spectacle is a rare treat for me, and one that I never tire of. Bempton is one of those truly wonderful places in which you don't necessarily have to be a birdwatcher to marvel at its sheer abundance of life and biodiversity.

Bempton is very easy to. Regardless of whatever direction you're travelling from, the best bet is to follow signs for Bridlington, the nearest large town. If you're coming from the north or the south, then the M1 is the road to follow, before hopping onto the M62 East and then finally the A towards Bridlington and Scarborough.

Once you're within a few miles of 'Brid' as its known to the locals, you'll see the brown tourist signs directing you to Bempton Cliffs, so all you have bempton cliffs boat trips 2020 list do is follow. If you have a Sat-Nav and are comfortable using one, then finding it is even easier, as punching in the bempton cliffs boat trips 2020 list will take you straight to the car park.

The roads in the village of Bempton itself are very narrow, and in places only wide enough for one car, but there are passing places, so there's no need to worry too much, but I would still drive fairly cautiously, especially if visiting for the first time.

The village is typically quaint, and home to some wonderful pubs, although if you happen to visit on a Monday, bear in mind that The White Horse Inn on Cliff Lane does not serve food. It does serve food every other day of the week, and it is a wonderful establishment to eat, but just something to be mindful of. If you're visiting at the weekend during the peak season, then expect the car park to bempton cliffs boat trips 2020 list busy quickly, so I would recommend getting to Bempton as early as possible.

Once you're parked up, you then walk down a sandy pathway to the visitor centre. If you're already a member of the RSPB then you just simply flash your membership card and walk on in. Personally, I would recommend becoming a member, especially if you plan on visiting regularly. Its just a few pounds a month, and believe me there are no shortage of volunteers willing to sign you up.

If you decide to sign up on the day, then the RSPB will refund the admission fee that you paid on the day. The visitor centre itself is very clean, swish and has almost every amenity that you could ask for, from toilets to refreshments to gifts and even the chance to hire a pair of binoculars just in case you need.

You can even watch live footage of the seabirds going about their daily lives on the cliffs. For serious birders like me, there is a sightings board with detailed list of species and numbers, so as to give people an idea of what to look out.

The gift shop always has the ability to pull you in, even people like me who aren't normally interested in such things. You'd never catch me buying the many cuddly puffin toys on sale, but I am a bookworm, and the shop does have a huge selection of bird and wildlife books, as well as magazines. Tree sparrows are a refreshingly common sight on the many bird feeders found in the visitor centre grounds. As nice as the visitor centre is, the main reason why most people come to Bempton are the birds.

Even upon arrival you are greeted by some wonderful species. Once you're finished with the visitor centre, you walk out into a picnic area, which in turn overlooks a bird feeding station. It's here that one of Bempton's most charismatic species thrives, the nationally scarce Tree sparrow, a close relative of the more familiar House sparrow. Tree Sparrows resemble the male house sparrow but have a brown rather than a grey cap.

Once away bempton cliffs boat trips 2020 list the picnic area, you'll walk down a windy trail towards the cliffs themselves. The trails cut through large swathes of unspoilt grassland and wildflower meadows. Its here that you may catch glimpses of skylarks, meadow pipits, bempton cliffs boat trips 2020 list and reed buntings. Although, you'll more likely hear them and see. At certain times of the year, during the migration season, you may also see northern wheatears, yellow wagtails, whinchats and maybe even a ring ouzel.

If you happen to visit during the winter months, you may also see flocks of wild geese passing overhead, as well as short-eared owls and barn owls at certain times of day. Straight ahead of you is the bempton cliffs boat trips 2020 list expanse of the north sea. The next bit of land across the water is Denmark and no matter how hard I strain my eyes through my telescope its too far bempton cliffs boat trips 2020 list to see.

From here, you can get fantastically close views of birds that you would normally never be able to get close to. Northern gannet pairs often greet each other by performing a mutual fencing ceremony.

Time for a few cute pictures of the Atlantic Puffin. Puffins are particularly fond of sand eels. With the right photography equipment you can get amazing close shots of birds such as this Razorbill. It never ceases to amaze me how birds such as this Black-legged kittiwake are able to cling to the smallest cliff edge.

This was the only picture of a Northern Fulmar that I could. If you do visit Bempton you'll find yourself taking more Puffin pictures than you need. I've yet to be able to be photograph an Eurasian Shag, but here is an example of one courtesty of wikimedia. Likewise, I've yet to capture a Great Black-backed Gull. They are truly enormous birds, approaching goose proportions in terms of size and wingspan. Contrast it to something like an African safari, where you have to pay an absolute fortune, travel for miles in a jeep, and of course there is the fact that you cannot get too close to the animals due to the danger they pose.

At Bempton you can get close to animals every bit as interesting and charismatic as a lion; moreover, you can simply watch and marvel as they live out daily lives. The sheer abundance on show at Bempton is also a stark contrast to what we experience in our daily lives. On any given visit during the peak period you will see up to 20, individual gannets, over 10, kittiwakes and s of auks including guillemots, razorbills and the charming puffins.

All children have an instinctive love of the natural world, so a trip to Bempton may ignite an interest that may last for their entire lives. The White Horse Inn down the road is a wonderful establishment, although as mentioned earlier, they do not serve food on a Monday. My personal recommendation is The Ship Inn at nearby Sewerby, a small village on the outskirts of Bridlington.

It has a general friendly atmosphere, with the locals readily striking up conversation with you, especially if you happen to have a dog.

Most of the pubs in the area are dog friendly and The Ship Inn is no exception. They do an excellent carvery buffet on Sundays and if you fancy taking in some sport, then you can kick back and watch the football on a large screen TV near the bar.

The only thing I would say is that when entering the car park, be careful of the raised bump. In May, the clifftops are awash with a splendid carpet of Red Campion flowers. The white blobs on this rocky outcrop are all Northern Gannets. If you fancy a real holiday in the area rather than just a day out, then are a wealth of accommodation options. You could stay in Bridlington itself in one of the many hotels that dot the seafront.

You could opt to hire out a static caravan trailer in one of the many holiday parks in the area, this could be a good option for those of you who have large families. Many of them are former farm cottages that have been modernised but still retain their quaint charm. I can personally recommend two that I have stayed at recently. I believe that the room I stayed in was an old stable, but you would never have believed it.

It was clean, cosy and above all warm. Contrast that to accommodation in somewhere like London where just for one bempton cliffs boat trips 2020 list you may pay double or three times that.

At the Village Farm its affordable and being able to wake up to just the sounds of nature is something that you cannot put the price on. They include a free fresh breakfast, where you can order locally sourced food and Chrysta, the friendly proprietor will even bempton cliffs boat trips 2020 list your dog a fresh sausage bempton cliffs boat trips 2020 list you ask her nicely.

On my most recent trip, my girlfriend and I decided to try somewhere different. Venturing further north, we opted for a charming former farmhouse called The Orchard Lodge in the village of Flixton near Scarborough.

Flixton is roughly half an hour away from Bempton and an ideal place to stay for anyone seeking peace and quiet. The eggs too are locally sourced, coming from the dozen or so chickens they keep on site. The honey, jam and jelly are all locally sourced. They absolutely love dogs, and like The Village will prepare your canine friend some breakfast.

They have a couple of dogs themselves, two black Labradors, both of which are very friendly and affectionate. If any of you do visit Bempton or anywhere on the East Yorkshire coast. What a fabulous sounding place! Your photos and descriptions of bempton cliffs boat trips 2020 list cliffs, the birds, the local accommodations.

Thanks for this terrific article! Cheers Alan. I have actually thought a great deal about moving to God's own country in recent times.

As much as I love Birmingham and am proud of my roots, I would love to end my days somewhere coastal. Don't worry I'm well prepared for whatever nature throws at me. In January I did a clifftop walk in Cumbria and that was an experience and a half. Well James you outdid yourself on this one, as much for your accommodation guide as for the birdies we called someone who bempton cliffs boat trips 2020 list a 'greedy gannet'.

You've done yourself proud Don't suppose you've considered 'migrating' permanently across the divide? Mind you, from autumn to early spring the sea winds can be a challenge.

Should've heard the wind groan down the chimney, Msc Boat Trips 2020 4th That was Tenby Boat Trips 2020 4g eerie when I was on my own]. This is a very interesting and enjoyable article. I'd love to visit Bempton cliffs. The area looks and sounds like a wonderful place.

Next year it'll be a June trip for me. By the way, we saw a few Grey Seals in addition to the birds etc. My husband and I went on this two and a quarter hour round trip on the Yorkshire Belle on Monday 4th August.

We left Bridlington Harbour whilst the captain gave us an informative commentary and sailed past the amazing chalk cliffs all around Flamborough Head, showing us the best view of all the classic geological features of chalk cliffs with fantastic caves, stacks etc, huge numbers of sea birds and a seal who popped up to take a look at us!

We arrived at Bempton Cliffs RSPB which are feet high and have the most fantastic large breeding populations of gannets and kittiwakes, which we saw close up, which was a real treat. It is amazing to see the gannets dive into the water to catch fish for their chicks.

The size of the populations and noise made by the huge numbers of birds is incredible. We only saw a few puffins as it is now the end of the breeding season, so if you go early in July you would also see lots of these charming little birds nesting in the cracks in the cliffs where predators cannot reach them, instead of in burrows on islands where they are often found eg Skomer off Pembrokeshire and the Farne Islands off Northumberland.

The adult parents collect beak fulls of shining silver sand eels to feed their young. There is also a fascinating fault line in the chalk cliffs at Bempton, which you can see very clearly from the sea. We would strongly recommend you take a cruise on this lovely 65 year old Yorkshire Belle.

We went on the Yorkshire Belle hoping to see a puffin or two around the Flamborough area. We were not disappointed. The trip lasted about an hour and a half and was great value for a family of 4. We saw lots of puffins in the water and on the cliffs and enjoyed the commentary on the boat.

The commentator told us about the other birds too and we saw some good sized fish being landed on smaller fishing boats. Snacks are available on the Belle and we thought were reasonably priced. Had a great trip with the family realy interesting. Its a must if you go to Bridlington. The Yorkshire Belle is an absolute must.

Very good price and a very good experience. Took me back to my childhood. Skip to main content. Sign in to get trip updates and message other travelers. Boat trip from Bridlington to Bempton The Yorkshire Belle.
