Well worth a visit to this iconic spot with its steep cliff sides. 400 steps down to the light house with spectacular views and if you are luck you'll spot puffins, guillemots and razorbills in the spring time.
Its possible to walk down the steps but you will need to buy a ticket from the visitors centre to cross to the island.
