RSPB St Bees Head

[Neil Rigby]

St Bees Head is situated near Whitehaven in Cumbria and you can see the Isle of Man on a clear day. Walk along the cliff top path and in spring and summer, you can stop at the three viewpoints to marvel at the largest seabird colony in North West England.

Guillemots, kittiwakes, fulmars and razorbills wheel noisily overhead, while ravens and peregrines are often seen soaring along the cliffs. Offshore, you can also see skuas and shearwaters and if you are lucky you may spot dolphins and porpoises.
