The village and civil parish of Flamborough sits on the eastern tip of the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, occupying the striking chalk promontory known as Flamborough Head. Its white cliffs, sea caves and stacks make it a notable coastal landmark, and the headland is protected for its seabird colonies, marine life and geological interest; a prominent lighthouse and strong tidal flows underline a long maritime history.

Locally the economy mixes fishing, small-scale farming and tourism, with boat trips, birdwatching and cliff walks drawing visitors in summer while a resilient, close‑knit community keeps village life going year‑round. The area’s maritime heritage, walking routes and nearby resorts such as Bridlington add to its appeal for nature lovers and those interested in coastal history.
