Walk conditions
There is no footpath for the majority of the walk circuit, although the
lanes and roads are relatively traffic-free.
The walk for the most part is flat with a slight upward incline as you head
inland from the harbour.
Those who choose to walk on the beach and fully explore the harbour area
may need to negotiate uneven slipways, steps, ladders, sand, pebbles and
rocks. Conditions on the beach will vary according to tide and weather.
Waterproof footware is advisable. |
