The beach at Peerie Voe is stunning and a good sunset spot, but just out from the beach is a little dive site that not many people know about. In summer, it’s a great place to photograph nudibranchs (sea slugs). The underwater landscape is beautiful, from the shallow sandy bottom to a kelp forest and then on to some stunning gullies and walls full of life.

On a sunny day, the views of Deepdale are breathtaking, with the long sweeping bay and luminous turquoise water. But I particularly like the area on extreme winter days. I love to wrap up, walk out from the Dale of Walls and sit watching the waves pound the cliffs, with the fulmars hovering in the sea spray.
