London Bridge - Also known as the London Arch, this formation was created over centuries as wind and sea eroded it, separating it from the mainland.

The Grotto - Descend the stairs next to the car park into the grotto to witness the unique limestone cave formed by rock erosion. The cave features sinkholes. Look through the grotto for a spectacular view of the sea.
