St Bees Head

Located 1½ miles north of the tiny town of St Bees, this wind-battered headland is an important reserve for seabirds. Depending on the season, species nesting here include fulmars, kittiwakes and razorbills, as well as Britain's only population of resident black guillemots. There are more than 2 miles of cliff paths to explore.
