Get ready for one of nature's great spectacles at the puffin viewing area, just a pleasant 15 to 30-minute walk from the village. Every year, from mid-April to August, this spot becomes a bustling hub for one of the largest puffin colonies in the world. For the most magical experience, you'll want to head over in the evening when thousands of birds return from the sea, filling the air above the scree slopes. The puffins can be a bit distant, so bringing a pair of binoculars is a great local tip to truly appreciate these charming 'clowns of the sea'.
