South Landing

Wooded ravine and lifeboat beach on Flamborough Head, one of the best places on the coast for autumn migrants

A wooded ravine running down to the lifeboat station and a small beach on the south side of Flamborough Head. Paths loop through the woodland from the pay-and-display car park. In autumn, migrant birds arriving from across the North Sea gather in the sycamores. Yorkshire Wildlife Trust's Living Seas Centre is at the top.

Mature woodland east of the car-park is favoured by common woodland species including Treecreepers and Tawny Owls, whilst autumn can bring impressive arrivals of thousands of thrushes from over the North Sea.
