Beyond being an excellent restaurant, The Cliffs also acts as a local nature centre supporting the ecology, history and culture of the area. There's the opportunity to experience a free audiovisual display and also go on a guided walk along the cliffs. Group sizes are limited, so booking ahead is necessary. Walks include a troglodyte cave, wildflowers and sensational views.
