Seals
In November and December North Somercotes loses its calm air as it is home to many tourists, who come to see the seals at Donna Nook, the beach located a 1½ miles from the village. While there is some dispute as to whether this is the largest seal breeding colony in England, it is certainly the only one where visitors can be within a few inches of the seals. Children particularly delight in seeing the new seal pups at such a close range. Wardens are there to offer information and anecdotes about Grey Seals, and the seal population generally.

Famous quotes containing the word seals:
“Social and scientific progress are assured, sir, once our great system of postpossession payments is in operation, not the installment plan, no sir, but a system of small postpossession payments that clinch the investment. No possible rational human wish unfulfilled. A man with a salary of fifty dollars a week can start payments on a Rolls-Royce, the Waldorf-Astoria, or a troupe of trained seals if he so desires.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
