It might not be the most obvious viewpoint on a hike but the nuclear reactor here is undeniably impressive. It started generating power in 1995 and provided low carbon electricity for 2.3 million houses in 2020 alone. It lies right on the coast and you can see it easily from the footpath. There's also a visitor centre, should you want to know more.

Not the most picturesque place on the planet yet there's still a surprising amount of wildlife in this area worth seeing.
