An invigorating coastal walk taking cliffs tops and sandy beaches. The distance of the walk will depend on the mulitude of route choices you make. Follow the coast line all the way and you'll at least double the route as the crow flies! For a shorter walk, you can avoid some of the headlands and travel cross country - but you'll be missing out.
