About
Quick facts: A landslip has shaped the dramatic ridge, constantly moving and changing the landscape. Legends say the twisting rock formations inspired scenes in several fantasy films, adding to its mystique.
Highlights: Sharp pinnacles and vast cliffs create a surreal backdrop where sheep roam freely, blending nature and folklore. On a clear day, the view stretches across islands and channels, making the wild terrain feel endless and alive.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy footwear as trails are uneven and can be slippery after rain.
- Capture the best photos from the viewpoint near the large landslip area, especially at sunrise or sunset.
- Avoid weekends if you prefer tranquility, as this spot can get busy mid-day.
- Pack a light lunch and water since amenities nearby are scarce.
