Editor’s Note: Last week’s video was made by the same people and their videos are so awesome that I just had to share another lovely one. This one is of the Flamborough Peninsula in Yorkshire. Enjoy!

The massive peninsula of Flamborough is situated on the East coast of Yorkshire, England, and forms one of the most impressive landscapes of this stretch of coastline. The headland extends into the wild North Sea by approximately 6 miles.
To the North spectacular Chalk cliffs stand proudly up to 400 feet high. They are home to one of the largest nesting sea bird colonies in England. To the East are coves, sea caves and stacks. Rocky outcrops reach out into the sea and have claimed many a passing ship in the past. To the South the cliffs become smaller, but look out across Bridlington Bay.
Music is from the album A Cup of Moonlight by David Lanz.

Thank you! This one had my name all over it. Being a “York” myself and a piano player (beautiful music!) ….it just strengthens my resolve to get there someday.
This reminds me a lot of my little stretch of coast, which is about 70 miles North of this spot. We have lobster and crab boats and fishing boats that troll around the bay here, sand dunes that are home to several native species of birds, and very dangerous rock shoals that have claimed many boats. Our rocks are red instead of white though. The entire stretch of coast from Northumbria on down through the Yorkshire coast is just one beautiful vista after the next.
