St Bees Head is a headland on the North West coast of Cumbria and is named after the nearby village of St Bees. Red sandstone cliffs stacked with nesting seabirds like Zwarte Zeekoet, Zeekoet, Alk, Drieteenmeeuw, Papegaaiduiker and Noordse Stormvogel. Three viewing points give you great views of the colony and on a clear day you can see the Isle of Man across the sea.
