I've just spent the last couple of days up and down the coast up near to Scarborough and Whitby, and can throughly recommend it if you haven't been before

It was the first time i'd been and was amazed by the amount of Birdlife up there, and how close you can get to them.
Great views to be had of Turnstone litterally 10ft away on the seafronts, lots of Oystercatchers on the beach being harrased by Herring Gulls. Then you had Curlew, Redshank and the occasional Heron flying past. In some of the harbours where Guillemot and Razorbill diving for food. And away from the beach on the cliffsides where lots of Wagtails, mainly Pied but the occasional Grey, also Goldfinch and even a couple of Wheatear
If you get the chance you should go
