This is a multi-cache around Flamborough's Sculpture Trail.
The above co-ordinates are for parking. There is ample parking available in the car park and parking field. The parking costs £2.50 for all day.
The trail is a circular walk of around 1.5km, which will take around 1hr to complete.
You could also incorporate RNLI series - Flamborough Lifeboat (GC2DM7G) whilst in the area.
The circular trail winds its way along the wooded valley of the reserve and along the cliff tops, where there are fantastic panoramic sea views. Stop at the bird feeding station and peep through the willow screens to watch the birds on the tables and feeders.
The nature trail also features the Flamborough Young Roots Sculpture Trail. All the sculptures have a different tale to tell, and were inspired from stories told by long-time residents of Flamborough about the heritage of the village and area.
Many artefacts on the trail originate from the Flamborough area, such as the anchor and burial stone. Other sculptures tell local stories, such as the Flamborough Longsword Dance Lock, which replicates the design made by the dancing of the Flamborough Sword Dancers. The totem pole on the cliff edge features carvings about the sea and further round the trail you can rest on the Rum Barrels `n` Bench, inspired from the smugglers tales of the coast.
The distinctive Bridging the Gap bridge links the sea and the land. As you walk towards the sea you`ll spot the names of local cobles on the bridge, and some of these small fishing boats are still working today. Turn back and you will see the names of whale species.
Access to the reserve from the car park is on the nature trail starting in the southeast corner of the car park. This path, which forms part of the Flamborough Sculpture Trail, has a firm surface, is wide enough for people to walk side by side and is suitable for visitors using a wheelchair. The picnic area located 100 metres along this path is also designed to accommodate visitors using a wheelchair.
Access to the beach is gained by descending a steep flight of 75 steps leading off the trail. Alternatively walk from the car park down the steep road to the Lifeboat Station, but please beware of Lifeboat crew vehicles on the road. There is no parking for visitors at the Lifeboat Station.
