For a small headland that could be easily overlooked, the quality of the cliffs on this paddle will not disappoint. In addition to this the trip offers a cluster of wildlife packed skerries with the Small Isles as the backdrop and of course the impressive Spar Cave found at the end of it’s own huge entrance canyon.
