A small stream tumbles over the cliff and into the sea as a scenic waterfall. You can visit the source by hiking a short part of the trail leading into Fowlsheugh Nature Reserve. There is a tiny wooden bridge that takes you over the stream. It is also a decent water source (always treat the water, though).

Road cycling

The waterfall is a little further than the road, so you'll need to push, off road or walk a little way to get the best view but it's well worth it.
Crawton village is a deserted fishing village, the remains of the 23 houses are still visible. The last resident left in 1927.

Hiking

From the small car park walk down past the gate to Fowlsheugh and to the end of the road. A second costal path leads down the side of a field to a good viewpoint to the falls. The cliff edges are exposed and can be slippy.
