Long Nab is a prominent coastal feature located in the county of Yorkshire, England. Situated on the eastern coast, it is part of the Flamborough Headland Heritage Coast, known for its dramatic cliffs and stunning natural beauty. Long Nab consists of a long stretch of rugged cliff and slope, offering breathtaking views of the North Sea.

The cliffs at Long Nab are composed primarily of chalk, which gives them their distinctive white appearance. Rising to a height of approximately 100 feet, these cliffs provide a striking backdrop against the deep blue of the sea below. The slope leading down from the cliffs is covered in a lush carpet of grass and wildflowers, creating a picturesque scene.

Long Nab is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and photographers. The cliff-top path offers a scenic walk with panoramic vistas of the coastline, while the slope is an ideal spot for picnics and relaxation. The area is home to a variety of bird species, including puffins, gannets, and kittiwakes, making it a haven for birdwatchers.

Access to Long Nab is relatively easy, with a car park nearby and a well-maintained footpath leading to the cliff edge. However, it is important to exercise caution when exploring the area, as the cliffs can be unstable in some places.

Overall, Long Nab is a beautiful and captivating location that showcases the raw power and beauty of the Yorkshire coastline. Whether you are seeking a peaceful walk or a chance to observe nature's wonders, Long Nab is a must-visit destination.
