Noup Cliffs

RSPB

Noup Cliffs, located on the rugged coastline, offer dramatic views and a rich habitat for seabirds. Towering 76 metres above the sea, this reserve is a haven for bird enthusiasts, featuring a diverse array of nesting sites for Gannets, Guillemots, Kittiwakes, and Razorbills. The cliffs are also known for occasional sightings of dolphins and whales, making it a captivating destination for wildlife watchers. For the best wildlife experience, visit Noup Cliffs in June when the seabird activity peaks, with thousands of birds bustling to raise their chicks. January is also notable for observing various waterfowl, including Tufted Ducks and Mute Swans, particularly around midnight. Keep an eye out for Puffins, which can be seen daily, and enjoy the vibrant wildflowers that adorn the coastal paths.
