Islet fortified as a lookout and artillery point, and with a lighthouse. In 1808 a causeway was built from the mainland, whereupon the most southerly point of mainland Europe shifted south by 500 m. It’s still controlled by the Ministry of Defence and has been closed since May 2026 for vague safety reasons – perhaps the tumbledown state of the buildings. It’s still worth strolling out along the causeway for views.
