Tips

This unique harry potter type of witch house is an amazing must see. Nestled in a cleft in the rock it is simply a tall stone wall with no doors and just inset with a series of ill-matched windows. It was built centuries ago, and used as a shelter for domesticated pigeons and has smugglers and brigand type stories galore associated with it. It is well worth the effort to go and see it.

Now it is rough underfoot there and it is only accessible between low to mid tide. To get to it, ex-Welsh rugby international Chris Knight has an excellent video and additional information on his webpage.

Check tide times before visiting as you can only get down at low tide. Sturdy footwear is a must as the rock face is well worn and slippery. It’s a steep climb with a sheer drop off the side but well worth it.
