St Bees North Head is the highest point on the north west coast of England, rising to 295 feet (90 m) above sea level. From its clifftop paths are huge views west to the sea and east to the fells of Lakeland. It is part of the only western stretch of Heritage Coast between Wales and Scotland.

Birdlife is abundant, with many nesting species. A lighthouse stands proud on the headland, whilst the cliffs also host rock climbers, with many bolted routes.
