    Hiking

    The Corryvreckan whirlpool is caused by a combination of a strong tidal current and underwater topography. A tall basalt pillar and deep underwater pit combine to create the third largest whirlpool in the world. You can see the maelstrom from the headland which is a good walk up the northeast coast.
