The westernmost point of mainland Europe: cliffs and strong wind. The cafe by the car park is expensive, so bring a snack. Come for the sunset, but expect a crowd.

TipsWhat to know beforehand

The car park is often full at weekends, so come earlier. A strong wind blows almost all the time - take a jacket even in summer. There is no railing at the cliffs, so watch children and cameras in the wind.
