You can see this lighthouse in the distance from many parts of the island but it is only when you climb the ridge and walk towards the stone cross that you can really appreciate it. Standing as it does on that lump of a rock with its windy steps it is as if it is out of some fairy tale or a Walt Disney film. Add to that the the path made up of crushed sea shells running down to the steps and the magic is complete. It was 8.30 when I left the island to walk back to the car, by which time the sun was really quite hot and it was a very red-faced me who reached the car that morning.

But it was so lovely.
