Other
The walk is approximately 1 mile, lasting 1–1.5 hours. The walk is at a leisurely pace, with stops to take in the views and hopefully spot some wildlife. The terrain will be mostly grass, dirt paths, and fields. Uneven underfoot but it will be mostly flat. Some sections of the coastal path are narrow with sloping drops. The ground may be muddy or slippery in places. Unfortunately, there are no toilets along the route. A bench is available at the start of the walk but not beyond. Dogs are not permitted on this walk, as the route passes through fields with wildlife and grazing livestock. There’s no need to book, just turn up on the day.
