About
Greiti faktai: Winds carve vertical walls of basalt and shale that plunge to the ocean, reaching about 214 meters at the highest point. Stretching roughly 14 kilometers along the coastline, the cliffs support more than 20 species of seabirds and colonies that number in the tens of thousands.
Svarbiausi dalykai: At dawn, low cloud lifts like a curtain to expose sheer rock faces streaked with orange lichen and the thunder of waves, the air sharp with salt and the metallic tang of spray. Volunteers running seasonal seabird counts still log nests with chalk and paper on numbered ledges, and recent surveys record roughly 30,000 breeding seabirds including large numbers of razorbills, guillemots, and kittiwakes.
Insider tips
- Wear a waterproof, windproof jacket and sturdy shoes, paths can be muddy and winds strong.
- Arrive at opening or late afternoon to dodge coach crowds, allow at least 60 minutes for main viewpoints.
- For classic shots use the area around O'Brien's Tower, then walk 10-20 minutes north for quieter, rugged angles.
- Stay on marked paths and behind fences, cliff edges are unstable and enforcement can be strict.
