Wildlife

The weather and geology of the area has forged a unique and varied community of flora and fauna. The wind-blasted cliff tops are the home of thrift, rare butterflies and the Peregrine Falcon. Wind sculpted trees point inland, ubiquitous gulls hover in the updraft and you’ll see the common, and if you are very lucky, maybe something quite rare, like seals hauled up in a secluded rocky cove.
