The cliff walk is a delight and an invigorating experience. It winds its way from the Crescent Complex round the cliffs to the Strand. The views from the path are breathtaking, especially in the evenings. It is now a grammar school called Dominican College. It is the birthplace of General Sir George White V.C. who held the Siege of Ladysmith.
Icehouses appear as stone built sheds with an arched roof built of earth.
They were used to preserve salmon by the big landowners who owned the fishing rights. Ice was collected from pools in winter and kept frozen by the insulation of the roof. This was a source of fresh water since the stone age. It was supposed to be blessed by St. patrick and the water was used by locals to sell to tourists up to the 1940s. This is two miles long and one of the finest beaches on the North Coast.
