Cliffs. I met up with Steve (Bazarchie as was) for a day at Bempton Cliffs in May 2019. It was a good day out.

BV9R4266.jpg by Pete, on Flickr Edit2. I didn't take many environmental pictures to give the scale of the place but I just found this one. 500 mm lens on APS-H so effective field of view @35 mm is 650 mm.

Down river from Cadover Bridge, Dartmoor. More an outcrop than a cliff per se.  BV9R0551.jpg by Pete, on Flickr when we were a bit closer  BV9R0558.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

Artificial cliffs. The rock faces at the old quarries at Llanymynech are used [permission required] for climbing. There were two limestone quarries orginally, one English and one Welsh. Now a nature reserve and heritage trail. It is quite an interesting place to visit but parking is very limited. Looking at the paths I'd guess the local kids have a great time mountain biking over the rubble mounds. There are fossils to be found in the spoil. Peregrines nest there but I have never seen one. The path to the section where they nest is rather half-heartedly blocked off - I think because it leads to a dead end rather than any particular conservation intent. Lots of pigeons and Jackdaws. The Offa's Dyke Path goes around the edge of it.  DSCF0383.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

I'd the closest place to me that I know of where you can see the cliffs from the land is South Stack but it is still nearly a 2 hour drive (outside holiday season). I haven't any big vista views.  BV9R2323.jpg by Pete, on Flickr The Great Orme is closer (45 mins) but I've never tried to get in a position to photograph the cliffs per se. I suspect it needs a boat. There is a toll road around the base but no parking and I've only driven it, which gives little opportunity for sight-seeing. |

I thought I'd look and see if I had any Great Orme photos. This one from across Llandudno Bay. It has a hazy day so some LR dehaze filter applied.  DSCF7203.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |
