This point at the northern tip of the promontory is called Herston Taing, it's a great wild place to visit for a picnic and views across Widewall Bay towards Hoxa Head.
There is the remains of a anti-aircraft battery to explore.
Herston Head is around to the western edge of this headland, a 10min push or walk around the coast from here, it's worth the walk for amazing views across to Hoy.
