One of the many flowers you can see is the Sea-thrift (Armeria Pseudarmeria) The name Armeria is derived from the Latin word for Dianthus to the plant's resemblance to Dianthus. This variety is very common, conspicuous and and can be found in wild coastal areas. The old British threepence coin issued between 1937 and 1952 had a design of the flower on the reverse.
The Pink Ball Thrift and other rare plants of this region are under threat from the invasive Hottentot Fig or Ice Plant (Carpobrotus Edulis)) imported from South Africa, which you will see all over the headland.
So it's time to get those walking boots out of the cupboard for a day of discovery and a breath of Atlantic sea air to see some of these fantastic sights.
