Yesnaby gastles this is better called, because it concerns two pillars that rise from the sea next to very spectacular cliffs. A pillar with a bridge and a pillar with an opening at the bottom. It is breathtaking to watch it quietly and see and hear the water crashing against it. It is indeed a nice picnic spot.
