The cafe on the cliffs above Thornwick Bay
How gorgeous it was to ramble upon chalky Flamborough Head on such a diamond day. The witch doctors of meteorology got it right. It felt like the very last day of summer. I didn't even need to don a jacket.This morning I set out with Tony at 9 a.m., heading north. The four mile route took in Thornwick Bay before cutting inland to Flamborough village and then back to Nightingale Cottage via the road to North Landing.

Tony drove back to Beverley at midday. He had a bowling match this afternoon - the last of the season.South Landing
After lunch, Shirley and I headed south on a longer walking route that took us to Flamborough's two lighthouses and then on to the little bay known as South Landing where the village's lifeboat is housed, awaiting possible marine emergencies.The old lighthouse at Flamborough - built in 1674
Then we trudged up the rising access lane that brought us into the village. We enjoyed well-deserved cooling drinks in "The Rose and Crown" before completing the circle at our accommodation.Prize winning fish and chips this evening from "The Lighthouse" fish and chip shop. The end of a gorgeous day.

What a beautiful day to walk and take photos, topped off by fish and chips. Sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt does indeed look gorgeous there.
ReplyDeleteThey are very chalky looking cliffs, as is the lighthouse.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good time to walk without all the other people.
ReplyDeleteA lovely 'end of the season' walking holiday and of course fish and chips. Shame they don't do vegan fish and chips ;)
ReplyDelete"You're Gorgeous" - Babybird would be a great video soundtrack for those gorgeous photos YP.
ReplyDeleteAnother perfect day with gorgeous photos :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous is about the best word I can think of too.
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely and unspoilt. Fish and chips at the end of a long walk. Sound ideal.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us along on a gorgeous day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a splendid day you had - one you'll remember for a long time.
ReplyDeleteExcellent in all regards!
ReplyDeleteWow! Perfect day and lovely photos, Neil. I love that cloud semi-circle in the sky in your South Landing pic! Glad you had a great day!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous is an appropriate description of this landscape and the bright, sunny day.
ReplyDeleteWow!! The light in those pictures is magnificent!! The sky in South Landing! The rock juxtaposed with those flowers on the Briel Nook picture! Those will get you some Geography mention!!!
ReplyDeleteThornwick Bay and South Landing look like smugglers beaches.
ReplyDeleteThat top photo might be my favorite of all the photos you've ever taken. I love the layers and the reflections and the fun subject. I could look at it for ages trying to figure out what's in front and what's behind and what's reflected.
