    Noup Head lighthouse, built in 1898 stands 80m above sea level. The ledges of the cliffs below are home to a vast array of seabirds, especially during summer, you may spot puffins, kittiwakes, razorbills, gannets and guillemots.

    The path can be hard going in places, and be sure not to get too close to the cliff edge.
