Fodor's Expert Review The Nut

This sheer volcanic plug that's some 12½ million years old rears up right behind the village—it's almost totally surrounded by the sea. You can ride a chairlift to the top of the 500-foot-high headland, where the views are breathtaking; or, you can make the 20-minute trek on a footpath leading to the summit, where walking trails lead in all directions. It's a stunning place to view birdlife and the whole northwest coastline.
