Water bowls

The short level round from the RSPB visitor centre at the end of Cliff Lane out to the cliff edge and along the railed viewpoints, Grandstand, New Roll-up and Staple Newk among them, where gannets nest within feet of the fence. It is the easiest serious wildlife walk on this coast, surfaced and flat enough for a wheelchair, and it goes past a hundred thousand seabirds between April and August. The RSPB says in its own words that dogs are welcome on the footpaths around the reserve and in the visitor centre but must be kept on a short lead at all times, both for the ground-nesting birds and because the drop is four hundred feet. Water bowls are put out at the front and back of the visitor centre. The car park holds 74 cars and 11 blue badge bays with no height barrier, and the seabirds have gone by October.

Livestock — leads on Water bowls

The council's four-mile round from the RSPB car park on Cliff Lane, out along the top of the three-hundred-foot chalk past Moses Downgate, Bartlett Nab and the buried control room of the old RAF Bempton radar station, then inland by field headland and track to Buckton. It comes back down Bolam Lane to the railway and follows the signed footpath east across the fields over the bumps of the lost medieval village of Newsham, past the village pond, and up Cliff Lane from the White Horse Inn. Dogs must be on a short lead on the RSPB section by the reserve's own rule, and the council's route notes warn that livestock may be present on the inland fields, so the lead stays on for much of this one. There are stiles, a stretch of road walking through Buckton, and rough boggy going after rain. Best between April and August when the gannets and kittiwakes are on the ledges.
