Outside London: The Cliffs of St Bees Part II

  by Christina I feel like I was a little harsh on St Bees when I last wrote about it. The beach was not the prettiest I have ever seen, it’s true, but it was a sunny day and the village was gorgeous and there were hulking sandstone cliffs that I nearly slid off of […]
