The cave was formed over thousands of years as waves battered the cliff base and slowly hollowed out the rock. The 'windows' — open holes in the cave wall — let you look straight out to sea, with waves surging and foaming below. On a rough day the spray shoots right through the windows.
Sea anemones are actually animals, not plants, even though they look like flowers swaying in the water. They have soft, colourful tentacles they use to catch tiny pieces of food drifting past. Visitors to Animal Flower Cave can sometimes spot them in the shallow rock pools on the cave floor.
The cave sits at a place called North Point, the northernmost tip of the island. From the clifftop above you can see for miles along the rugged Atlantic coastline in both directions. It is a wonderfully wild and peaceful spot.
