Tips

On the rocky tip of Hopes Nose you can see evidence of 350 million-year-old Devonian limestone all around you. Whilst the ice caps never reached here, the effects of the ice certainly did; with the melting and freezing of the ice caps causing the sea levels to rise up and down dramatically. As such, you can also see evidence of raised beaches in the area at nearby Shennell Cove and Thatcher Rock.

You can park up the top and walk down or walk the coast paths as we did,ground is very uneven and rocks get slippery bench half way down if you want to sit down and look at the views
