Notes: There will be time to view the seabirds at the RSPB reserve at Bempton Cliffs. Binoculars are recommended. The seabirds will be nesting and fledglings should have hatched.

Refreshments at Filey Bay at end of walk.

If you are going by car - there is no parking at Bempton Railway Station and very limited parking on side roads as the roads at Bempton are very narrow.
