From the beacon you will have a 360 degree view, both along the coastline and of the surrounding countryside. Nearby Grabbist also has spectacular views from the top and it is said to have provided the inspiration for the hymn 'All Things Bright and Beautiful'.

Perfect for us
Everything we needed was there as described. Owner was very friendly and helpful when we met him. It was good to know he was nearby - just in case.
We went on 2 very enjoyable walks directly from the cottage. Beautiful location.
