The name, Seven Hanging Valleys, refers to the seven "hanging" valleys that have been carved out by erosion in the steep limestone cliffs. These small valleys end high above the sea because the sea has eroded the coastline faster than the (former) streams that flowed into them.

Very scenic erosion on the coastal cliffs, easily accessible by bike. A large hole, now open to see the ocean waves below, was probably created after a cave was washed out by ocean action until its roof collapsed. From the edge of the cliffs the views are stunning into the bay and out to the double arches formed from cliffs reaching out into the sea.
