Situated right in the centre of town, and surrounded with lovely shops and eateries, the Castle is a fun, and free visit for the whole family. Also, lovely views from the top.

At the end of a overgrown tree lined path, just off the main road, you park on the main road and walk the path (not easily accessible) Lots of other people have reviewed and have described the situation of the chapel and the age and presentation of the amazingly ancient stones with their Christian symbolism. I can only agree that the remoteness of the place and the panoramic views give the chapel a very special spirituality. You look around over the land and you can imagine the the place hundreds of years ago, not a lot has changed in the landscape! The chapel was open when we were there on Saturday morning, it’s felt a bit spooky and I just had a quick look inside.

I have been coming here since the early 60's so have seen huge changes in this area. Once it was busy and bustling and a hive of activity. Now it is all quiet and calm with just a few fishing boats in and out. The quay side has all been done up and makes for a nice easy and pleasant walk.
