Dancing Ledge

I'd never heard of this little place until Monday. A short detour downhill from the SW coastal path and you will find yourself here. This is a wave cut platform formed over thousands of years. The layered geology of the landscape is so clear to see as you climb down onto the platform or the dancefloor as it is known.
