Its a beautiful place not publicised. At the moment it is home to a Raven Roost and chuffs can be seen quite often. It was home to some sort of military camp and still has the remains of a look out tower on the cliffs. There is also a deserted beach and a salt marsh type area with quite a lot of wildlife, Ducks, Herons and Pheasant. Last time we were here we sat and watched a certain bird of prey hunting and a pair of coots with 10 young, amongst others.The approach to the cache is flat as a golf course its just the last 200m that are rocky and the last 30m that are a 5star rating hence the overall 3 star rating.
