The headland is characterized by its impressive cliffs, which rise dramatically from the sea, creating a stunning landscape.

At Craigyfulfran, visitors can witness the force of the ocean as waves crash against the rocks, sending sprays of water into the air. The headland is made up of layers of sedimentary rocks, displaying a variety of colors and textures that add to its visual appeal.
