Enjoy a fun, family walk along the magnificent chalk cliffs of Flamborough Head. Along the way, you will be able to savour stunning views of the East Yorkshire coast and spot a wide variety of birdlife. The octagonal Chalk Tower, a 17th century lighthouse, is also sure to impress and its modern day equivalent – Flamborough Lighthouse – will have the kids enthralled.
