On the southernmost tip of the Island you reach the Sound.
The café offers panoramic views across to the Kitterland and Calf of Man and the racing tidal currents which separate them. This is one of the most popular visitor destinations on the Island and a great location for seal spotting.
On the land between the Sound and Cregneash, you will find the chambered tomb on Meayll Hill and nearby a radar defence station from World War II.
The Chasms, Spanish Head and Black Head show intricate geological formations which provide nesting spaces for many sea birds.
Please note, the Sound and the Chasms are open-air heritage sites with uneven ground. Please take care on your visit and read our Access Guide below if you have any other queries.
