Bempton is a quiet, rural village on Yorkshire's Heritage Coast. It has a railway station, regular bus service, post office & general store, public house, church and a duck pond and is just 3 miles from the resort of Bridlington. We are in an ideal location for exploring this beautiful area and spectacular Coastline.
Bempton is famous for it's 400ft chalk cliffs, nesting site to thousands of seabirds including puffins, razorbills, gannets and kittiwakes. They are a magnificent sight and have featured on many TV programmes recently. A twenty minute walk from our guesthouse takes you up to the cliffs where the RSPB have an information centre, car park and shop which is open all year. They keep a log of all birds sited each day, offer guided walks and hire out binoculars. There is a coastal path with view points where you can take photographs and watch the birds. Puffins start to arrive at the cliffs from about March and can be seen up until the end of July. Look on the RSPB website for more detailed information or give them a call.
From Bridlington Harbour you can take a boat trip on the Yorkshire Belle and view the cliffs from the sea. Special Birdwatcher trips are run by the RSPB but these are very popular and must be booked in advance as places are limited.
