About
Fatos rápidos: Low, looping stone walls cling to a rocky headland, giving the ruins the mood of a weather-beaten lookout. Inside, compact round huts and narrow passages suggest people lived closely together against relentless sea winds and salt spray.
Destaques: A single narrow entrance, barely a metre across, frames the open sea like a natural window, making sudden squalls and guillemot cries feel startlingly close. Lean close to the low stones and hear the hollow echo of waves far below, a tactile, salty hush that makes the place feel like a worn sentinel of the coast.
Insider tips
- Wear windproof layers and sturdy shoes, the path is short but uneven and exposed.
- Keep well back from the cliff edge, loose stone and strong gusts make the headland hazardous.
- For best photos, shoot from the western side at golden hour to catch sea stacks and sunset light.
- Bring water and snacks, no facilities on site and mobile signal can be patchy.
