Explore by foot or horseback and discover the secrets of this rural paradise. Find a sculpture park, fossil trees and cave shelters, tunnels, rare flowers and birds and a myriad of butterflies.
From the comfort of your holiday home you can watch fishing while boats and ferries ply their daily trade, or glimpse the sleek, grey shadows of naval ships on the horizon.
