It suits anyone interested in history, bird watching, natural history or simply walking and taking in spectacular views across the coast. The headland itself is 2 miles long and rises 207 metres from the sea, with much of it protected as a Special Area of Conservation, Site of Special Scientific Interest and Heritage Coast, managed as a Country Park and Local Nature Reserve. The centre opens 10am to 5:30pm between Easter and October, with earlier 5pm closing in April, October or bad weather.
