Go and see this unique building before it falls into the sea! Coastal erosion has brought the temple very close to the edge of the cliff.

Castlerock Beach is a stunning stretch of golden sand with a back drop of dunes and the Atlantic Ocean. There's car parking at the top of the beach and you can park on the sand throughout the year in the eastern section. The beach benefits from RNLI lifeguards in July and August but care should be taken when swimming all year round, as the beach is very exposed.

This charming, single-storey thatched cottage was built in the 17th century using a particularly unusual method for the time: cruck construction. The house was bought in the 1700s by Isaac Hezlett, a local farmer and his family continued to live in the property until the 1970s when it was given to the National Trust. You can visit the property and take a guided tour. For more information and to arrange a visit, head here: http://www.nationaltrustcollections.org.uk/place/hezlett-house
