One of my all-time favourite wildlife spots.
A stunning location and home to one of the biggest (if not the biggest?) on-shore seabird colonies in the UK, with hundreds of breeding Common Guillemots, Razorbills, Black-legged Kittiwakes, Fulmars, Greater Black-backed and Herring Gulls and European Shags, with a scattering of Atlantic Puffins for good measure and a good chance of Northern Gannets feeding just offshore. The moorland above the cliffs have Red-billed Chough and Stonechat as well.
All the species above were in attendance on this glorious Sunday morning.
Thanks to the A55 (which runs from Chester right to Holyhead, a matter of minutes' drive from the cliffs) this is within 2 hours drive of large areas of north-west England and the Midlands as well as North Wales and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
