Flamborough Head is a promontory - a chalk headland with sheer white cliffs. The cliff top has two standing lighthouse towers, the oldest dating from 1669 and Flamborough Head Lighthouse built in 1806.

A great stop whatever your mode of transport. A cafe at the lighthouse which offers hot and cold food and drink. Ice creams also are in high demand here so you'll not go without a classic seaside ice cream. There's public toilets for anyone needing a convenience break. Beautiful views over the cliffs and over the bay. Popular with kayaks and paddleboards, along with seals & birds.
