The North Yorkshire Coast

The coast of North Yorkshire offers endless possibilities for landscape (seascape !) and wildlife photographers due to its changing geology and sea life. This is a compilation of recent images showing different aspects of this north sea coast.

Flamborough Head is renowned for its chalk cliffs and spectacular erosion patterns…

Nearby Bempton Cliffs are a seasonal home to varied sea birds who nest and breed on their steep, almost vertical cliffs. The RSPB – Royal Society for the Protection of Birds manage this site wonderfully, with many safe walking pathways and vantage areas to view the abundant bird life….

Saltburn by the Sea is a coastal town with a strong Victorian spa heritage, with a pier, positioned in a natural bay. It often enjoys varied and stunning north sea sky sunsets, and is a great favourite of beach walkers.

I hope that you enjoy these images – the area is well managed by the North York Moors National Park Authority.

Sometimes the fishing ain’t that great, but you still get quite a reward. On a calm evening, with only a few bites, I watched as the sunset turned incredible before my eyes. The smooth lake created a perfect reflection of the sky above.
