Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used) FLAMBOROUGH.-This was once a town of considerable importance, but has gradually declined until it is now a mere fishing village. On this account Flamborough forms an interesting exception to the great majority of the resorts that figure in this work. It is, however, even now a most attractive place, beloved by tourists on account of the striking coast scenery in its vicinity. Flamborough is even visited from Filey, Bridlington, and Scarborough, from which latter watering-place it is distant about nineteen miles. The name of Flamborough seems to indicate that at an early date this bold promontory was the site of a beacon. At the west-end of the village may be seen the remains of an ancient tower, which is locally called "The Danish Tower." It is surrounded by irregular mounds, which probably once formed the foundations of other buildings. Two miles from here is Flamborough Head. This celebrated promontory presents the most extraordinary sea-view on the Yorkshire coast. The cliffs, which are composed of chalk, rise perpendicularly to a height of from 300ft. to 450ft., and are slowly, but surely, yielding to the action of the waves. The rugged sides of the promontory are penetrated by numerous caverns, and on its very verge stands the lighthouse, a circular white tower, 821t. high. The light displayed is a revolving one, alternately red and white, and on clear nights it is visible at a distance of thirty miles. The ledges of the cliffs harbour innumerable flocks of sea-fowl, and we grieve to say that many visitors find "sport "in the useless destruction of these beautiful birds.
