Long Nab/Crook Ness.
Tides out. Thats Scarborough Castle on the headland.
Next time you're passing through Burniston instead of calling into the Three Jolly Sailors for a jar or two take the first right just after it, if you've come from the Scarborough end, and you end up at a small carpark at Crook Ness. We came here to check out the scrub covered slopes of the gully, Crook Ness, and any convenient hedgerows in the vicinity bordering the arable fields. The promontary leading up to the birdhide is Long Nab. The ravine and the foreshore didn't throw up too much, but again its probably better to visit when migrant arrivals may turn up looking for shelter. And while you're here take time to look for brachiopods, plant fossils, in the cliffs below.
After a scorcher of a day we couldn't wait to cool down with a refreshing pint in the Three Jolly Sailors. Cheers!
Thats Crook Ness. Don't ask me what those holes are.
