Image of Red Fescue Hole (Cave / Rock Shelter) by thesweetcheat

I’m kicking myself over this one. The opening on the cliff face opposite is Red Fescue Hole, but I didn’t realise this at the time.

The viewpoint is Red Chamber East cave.

Directions:
Follow the directions for Red Chamber Cave. When walking from Red Chamber Cave back to the coastal path there are two small ‘caves’ to be seen on the side of the opposite headland – I have no idea which one is the Red Fescue Hole?

I didn’t bother actually ‘visiting’ the ‘caves’ as they are really no more than shallow rock shelters in the side of the cliff. Access would be over grass along a steep slope.
