Discover a seabird city on a spectacular walk along the top of Noup Cliffs, 76 metres above the churning ocean. Below you on the cliffs, Gannets, Guillemots, Kittiwakes and Razorbills will be nesting. Puffins are seen daily, and whales and dolphins are occasionally spotted, and don't forget to look for the delicate wildflowers, which grow along this wildest of wild coastal paths.
Visit in June to enjoy the frenetic activity of the seabird city at its best with the sights, sounds and smells of thousands of seabirds rushing to raise their chicks before returning to sea for the winter.
