Western Lake
District
St Bees - Fleswick Cove
The pink sandstone cliffs, which rise dramatically
400ft up from the coastline, were formed about 200 million
years ago. They ascend from the beach at St Bees, and continue
as far as Whitehaven passing the lighthouse on the most Westerly
point of Cumbria – St Bees Head. This small bay, called
Fleswick Cove, is only accessible by foot and is an ideal place
to watch the many species of seabirds soaring high along the
cliff edge.
