It is a national nature reserve that is managed by the National Trust for Scotland. With its stunning cliff-top vistas, impressive geological features and beautiful bays, populated with sea stacks sitting in an azure-toned sea, it is sheer heaven for the coastal photographer and you will be spoilt for choice. If your interests also include wildlife, the reserve will not disappoint. Seabirds are in abundance, with huge colonies of kittiwakes, guillemots and razorbills.<\/p>\n<p>St Abb\u2019s is easy to get to, with a turning off the A1 approximately ten miles north of Berwick-upon-Tweed. Just before you get to the village of St Abb\u2019s there is an area where you can park your car, although this will involve a long walk to the reserve \u2013 so be warned! Alternatively, take the small private road to the reserve itself, which is fine to use, and park at the top of the cliffs.<\/p>\n<p>On the way to the cliff car park you pass Pettico Wick, a small bay that is well worth stopping off to photograph. It has an old pier and sea stack with stunning views along the cliffs of the coast, just north of the reserve.<\/p>\n<p>If you park at the top of the cliffs you\u2019re then spoilt for choice. Walk either way over the undulating, but not too steep terrain, and you will find many possibilities and viewpoints. Be extra careful on the cliff edges, though, and only shoot from a safe and secure vantage point, of which there are plenty.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_62568&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/PetticoWick.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-62568\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/PetticoWick.jpg\" alt=\"Pettico Wick\" width=\"600\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/PetticoWick.jpg 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/PetticoWick.jpg?resize=300,240 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/PetticoWick.jpg?resize=500,400 500w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/PetticoWick.jpg?resize=562,450 562w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/PetticoWick.jpg?resize=180,145 180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Pettico Wick is also worth a visit, with the small bay offereing plenty of photo opportunites.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Shooting advice<\/h2>\n<h3>Time to visit<\/h3>\n<p>I would suggest that St Abb\u2019s Head National Nature Reserve is an all-year-round destination for photographers. I find that the dramatic winter weather suits the location perfectly, but there are also many possibilities for more subtle work, such as studies of the geology or long-exposures. Early summer brings thrift to the cliff edges, so combine their pink hues with the beautiful colour of the sea for\u00a0 stunning vistas.<\/p>\n<p>I think the best shooting location is Horsecastle Bay, which is an array of wonderfully jagged cliffs and sea stacks located about a 20-minute walk from the car park heading in the direction of St Abb\u2019s village. The real beauty of this nature reserve is its wealth of possibilities,<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_62572&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/St-Abbs-Horsecastle-Bay.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-62572 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/St-Abbs-Horsecastle-Bay.jpg\" alt=\"Horsecastle Bay\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/St-Abbs-Horsecastle-Bay.jpg 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/St-Abbs-Horsecastle-Bay.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/St-Abbs-Horsecastle-Bay.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Horsecastle Bay is a wonderful array of cliiffs and sea stacks at St Abb&#8217;s Head Nature Reserve.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>Any time of day would be fine to shoot, as you have so many different viewpoints in all directions, so it\u2019s perfect from dawn \u2028to sunset, but check the position of the sun first.<\/p>\n<p>I find an all-purpose wideangle zoom more than suitable for most of the images, although it would also be worth taking a 70-200mm to shoot along the cliffs and compress all their wonderful shapes.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_62570&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/St-Abbs-Head-blue.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-62570 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/St-Abbs-Head-blue.jpg\" alt=\"Stunning Vistas\" width=\"600\" height=\"519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/St-Abbs-Head-blue.jpg 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/St-Abbs-Head-blue.jpg?resize=300,260 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/St-Abbs-Head-blue.jpg?resize=462,400 462w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/St-Abbs-Head-blue.jpg?resize=562,486 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Early summer brings thrift to the cliff edges, so combine their pink hues with the beautiful colour of the sea for stunning vistas.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h3>Food and lodging<\/h3>\n<p>There are a couple of caf\u00e9s in St Abb\u2019s village itself, but there are more facilities and a couple of pubs if you fancy a meal in nearby Coldingham, which is a short drive (or walk along the coast, if you\u2019re feeling energetic).

After bike-packing the length of France in her teens with her family, she started to undertake solo adventures in her 20s. Always a keen swimmer, she discovered a love of wild water 15 years ago, and has since swum the Dart 10k three times, qualified as a swim coach and learned to freedive. She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/10\/St-Abbs-Head-purple.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-20 11:56:53","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62559","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62559"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62559\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":62609,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62559\/revisions\/62609"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62559"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62559"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62559"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=62559"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
