Overview

A circular autumnal walk around the Flamborough Headland starting at Thornwick Bay. We will walk around the coast passing North Landing, Flamborough Head, South Landing and Danes Dyke before passing through Flamborough Village on our way to join the coastal path and return to Thornwick Bay.

There are plenty of seabirds to see and maybe some seals if the tide is out.
The ground could be muddy and soft underfoot particularly if there is more rain. 
Parking is suggested along the grass verge on the road to Thornwick Bay although Thornwick Bay Car Park may still be open which is a track on the left off North Marine Road just before the Viking Pub.
