There are seals 🦭 on the island, these can be seen over the wall, there’s a little hut with binoculars to get a better look.

Back in 1739, there was a naughty local man called Michael Curry who had a falling out with a local pub landlord and murdered him. Curry was hanged in Newcastle, but his body was hung up in chains from a gibbet at this spot, within a stones throw of the scene of his crime. The headland has been named Curry’s Point ever since. I love how thoughtful people are!
