Holborn Head features some amazing coastal scenery. The path passes an impressive sea stack known as the Clett, with an arch on the west side.

Be aware that the path is on the outside of the fence passing along some high cliffs, at one point quite close to the edge. If vertigo isn't a problem, when looking down at times you can spot sea caves at the bottom.
