The Seabird Spectacular has been specially created to make the most of this unique experience in a single, action-packed day on land and at sea. This tour takes guests above, below, alongside and almost touching the inhabitants of ‘Seabird City’ with YCN’s expert on hand throughout an unforgettable date with nature.

In the morning, the MV Yorkshire Belle RSPB Puffin Cruise leaves Bridlington harbour and heads straight to the action and stunning scenery of Flamborough Head. Within minutes the excitement begins with the full all-star cast putting on an amazing show.

Gannets plunge into the sea like sparkling torpedos and clown-faced Puffins squabble within metres of the boat as the symphony of noise reaches an incredible crescendo, while Kittiwakes, Shags, Guillemots, Razorbills and Fulmars all give perfect views alongside the boat, both on the sea and in flight.

Sailing almost to within touching distance of the packed ledges and terraces, guests will be up close and personal with the stars on the dramatic, 400ft high cliffs at Bempton, eye-to-eye with some of the world’s most iconic seabirds in their hundreds of thousands.

On Returning to the harbour you will head over to Rags Hotel Bar & Restaurant, South Pier, Bridlington for a delicious 2 course lunch and drink. Rags is set in modern, relaxing surroundings with harbour views and you will find a warm welcome awaiting you.

 

After lunch you will be taken to the famous Bempton Cliffs RSPB reserve, where the drama unfolds from a very different perspective. Special platforms overlooking the colony give unrivalled views of parents returning with their catch to feed the fluffy youngsters huddled on the ledges; along the path, meanwhile, the birds glide hundreds of metres high – at head height!

 

Drinks at the reserve before returning to Bridlington rounding off a unique day that will live long in the memory – truly a Seabird Spectacular to remember. Book the Seabird Spectacle now for the fantastic all inclusive price of £48

Kate & Neil’s wedding reception

April 14th, 2012

This weekend the cottages are full of Kate & Neil’s friends and family – they have taken over the farm for their wedding weekend. The cottages are full and they have put up a wonderful Papakata marquee on the lawn outside the cottages.

Kate choose the Forge as her cottage  and left for the wedding in a lovely old VW camper van!

They will be back shortly for the wedding reception in the marquee which looks just incredible.

Papakata are Teepee marquees , they look great on the  outside but inside they are just magical.

  

Beverley has a Japanese restaurant!

Lambing!

April 3rd, 2012

We are mid way through lambing, the larger ewes have had their lambs and the smaller shetlands are due to start lambing on Sunday. We are having to feed 2 lambs Flash and Billy and there are a couple others that need a feed only once or twice a day ( Barney and Timmy). Flash and Billy are so funny – when they see us walking across the field with bottles in our hands they just run like crazy to get to the milk – if I can get a helper I will video them and pop it on our You Tube channel.

The lambs are out in the paddock in front of the cottages during the day but we bring them in on a night until the lambs are older, when they can stay out over night we will put them by the entrance.
