[1] The highest cliff is 89 metres (292 ft) above the high tide, although the highest point of the entire headland is near Countisbury (a village around a mile away) at 302 metres (991 ft). The headland is owned by the National Trust; some areas are open to public access all year, as part of the South West Coast Path, while other areas have limited access.
