Cliffs at Cowbar

Near vertical cliffs of Jurassic age rocks at Cowbar. The calls of Kittiwakes fill the air here as they find the ledges on this shaded cliff ideal for nesting. To the right are the terraced cottages of Cowbar, separated from the cliff edge by a road, a strip of vegetation and not much else.
