Ellins Tower is part of the RSPB reserve. In spring and early summer this is an ideal place to see the seabirds nesting on the cliffs. Binoculars and telescopes can be used free of charge. The tower is staffed by staff and volunteers.

Really a hotspot for birdies and a plac out of the wind to enjoy the view if it gets stormy.
