Whether viewed from land or from the sea, Bempton Cliffs is a true spectacle, particularly so during the breeding season when vast numbers of seabirds are present. The reserve extends to over 5 km and is on average 86 m above sea level with 45 ha of sheer cliff face; these are the largest chalk sea-cliffs in eastern Britain.
