Description

The Eagle's Nest is a small platform that features two levels, constructed from both rock and rubble stone. The lower level is located right at the edge of the steep Wyndcliff and is safeguarded by an iron railing. This level includes a small arched alcove carved into the rock, which likely once held a seat. The upper level is a flat, bowed platform that has a protective wall and railing, and it currently supports a late 20th-century commemorative bench positioned against the cliff wall.
