Although only a stone's throw from the bustling tourist attractions that cap Land's End, the cliffs and climbs are well hidden from the gaze of the masses and retain an air of seriousness that is out of proportion to their location and height. The scenery is extremely beautiful and many of the climbs follow eye-catching lines, however, the rock quality is not the same as that found on the other more popular cliffs nearby, being grittier and lichenous. Escape could be awkward if failure on a line forces a retreat once the tide has crept back in or the sea conditions deteriorate.
