If you feel this planet isn't for you, you won't need a space ship to get to this spot. After a long and dangerous climb down a cliff edge winding path that is little more than a rabbit run, here you will find peace and tranquility. In fact, you might almost feel you are the only person left on Earth.
Honestly, it is a strange feeling.
During WW2 the German Army blew up this thriving quarry because of the perceived threat some British force might sneak in and use it to invade. The climb back up is a killer, so I think an attack from this quarter was never likely.
When the Germans invaded the island, they expected the British forces to be there ready to repel them. I would love to have seen the German Command's faces when they got to the island.
The British abandoned the island and apart from a few villagers who remained to caretake, there was no fight to be had.
What an anticlimax!
