DAY 3 After breakfast we leave the hotel and travel to Flamborough Head. This area is famous for its towering chalk cliffs, formed millions of years ago, providing breathtaking coastal views. Flamborough Head is a prime location to see numerous seabirds, including one of England's largest sites for nesting sea birds, with famous colonies of gannets and puffins.Flamborough Head is famous for its two lighthouses. The old lighthouse, a Grade II listed building which has never been lit, was built in 1674 and is one of the oldest living examples of a lighthouse in the UK. Flamborough Lighthouse was inhabited for almost two hundred years but in 1996, automation meant that the lighthouse keepers were no longer needed. The light however is still active, guiding sea traffic to this very day.The new – and currently working – Flamborough lighthouse was built in the early 19th century.A short walk from the current lighthouse is the Flamborough fog signal station. Over the years, guns, rockets and trumpets have all been used to warn seafarers in foggy conditions, nowadays, an electric fog signal is used along with the lighthouse. If you take the stroll over, be careful as every 90 seconds – in low visibility, the station emits a powerful siren.We then continue the short journey to the seaside resort of Bridlington for the afternoon.In Bridlington there really is something for everyone, glorious clean beaches, independent shops, great entertainment and amazing nature.
