Descrição
St Bees Head is a headland on the North West coast of Cumbria and is named after the nearby village of St Bees. Red sandstone cliffs stacked with nesting seabirds like Arau-d'asa-branca, Arau-comum, Torda-mergulheira, Gaivota-tridáctila, Papagaio-do-mar and Fulmar-glacial. Three viewing points give you great views of the colony and on a clear day you can see the Isle of Man across the sea.
