    There is lots of it. And most of it is protected so there are huge tracts of unspoilt loveliness that will have any nature lover coming back for more. This icon indicates naturally beautiful areas away from any major civilisation.
  • Whale watching

    Southern Right whales visit in winter, and many other whales are found along our shores.
