    Hiking

    The coast path here offers dramatic views up to the Yr Eifl quarry, now long abandoned. You can still see the workings clearly, with imposing buildings seemingly carved into the rock itself. In the foreground sit a couple of former quarry houses, now holiday cottages. Painted white, they almost seem to glow against the grass and rock around them.
