And on the greyest of days, when the sea and the sky seem to melt into one you can escape the wind and the rain in the Visitor Centre, enjoying a bowl of handmade soup, freshly baked cakes or simply a mug of hot chocolate to warm the cockles.

Venturing out into the frosty world of winter? Our shop has you covered. Avoid rosy cheeks and reddened ears by wrapping up warm with our collection of woolly hats, scarves and comfy jumpers, or for a sweeter treat try some of our traditional marmalade or jam, all made in small batches to clasic recipies.
