Danes Dyke Danes’ Dyke consists of prehistoric earthworks, possibly intended as a defence, and woodland that runs 2½ miles across Flamborough Head. Despite its name, Danes’ Dyke had nothing to do with the Danes, and was a much earlier site - probably dating back to the Bronze Age.

Cliffs, Rocks and Sea South of Flamborough Head. The grass covered chalk cliffs erode making a ribbon of white pebbles on the beach.  The sandy beach gives way to a harder rock stratum which is revealed at low tide.  This layer can be seen in many coastal views places north of here and all the way to Whitby.
