Run by the RSPB, Bempton Cliffs is a stunning place to watch puffins, northern gannet and razorbills nest. The hard chalk cliffs offer sheltered headlands and crevices which are perfect for birds to hatch their offspring. From January to September, England's only mainland breeding colony of gannets calls the cliffs home. In total, over half a million birds gather at the cliffs from March to October.

Entrance costs £5 per adult. The RSPB runs a visitor center and guided walks. You can find more information, here: rspb.org.uk/reserves-and-events/reserves-a-z/bempton-cliffs
