There is nothing quite like on a sunny summer’s day standing high up on vantage cliff top viewpoints with a clear far distant view overlooking to the horizon, out to the sea with its bright blue colours, the islands and a dramatic coastline with 100,000s of nesting seabirds coming and going.
It is a pure wild nature spectacle.
