Fieldwork opportunities are both abundant and varied in this part of north east Yorkshire. The east coast with sites such as Flamborough Head and Filey Brigg is ideal for studies of rocky shore ecosystems and geomorphology; whilst heather moorlands, woodlands and streams abound in the nearby North York Moors National Park. In addition the Yorkshire Wolds with chalk streams, dew ponds, rolling downs, dry valleys and intensive agriculture provide many more opportunities.
