The Island is loved by many with so much to explore including kayaking, pier jumping, sea caves and rock climbi

Near the Island's lake, bird life abounds; cormorants, razorbills, guillemots as well as gannets and kittiwakes can be admired. Towering cliffs provide some of Europe's finest challenges for rock climbers, on immaculate granite with amazing friction.
