St Bees Head is a headland on the North West coast of the English county of Cumbria and is named after the nearby village of St Bees.
It lies on the Cumbria Coastal Way and Wainwright Coast to Coast long-distance footpaths, it is the only stretch of Heritage Coast on the English coastline between the Welsh and Scottish borders, and is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Both long-distance footpaths follow the edge of the cliffs, which rise to 200 ft above sea level, and afford spectacular views of the Cumbrian mountains and coast.
