Fantastic walk with really stunning views. Very well marked and easy to follow. A few seats / picnic benches en route. Takes about 2/2.5 hours. Weather was good but there had been lots of rain during the week and the ground was quite boggy in places, so would definitely recommend hiking boots for it. Well done to those involved in developing and maintaining this walk, it's fabulous!

Perhaps one of the most romantic locations I’ve ever been- the cliff views, the wild Atlantic Ocean, the soft white sand and the waves!! Stunning spot! Don’t miss it!

This worth a visit for a hour or two.We were there on a lovely sunny day and it was beautiful.This was a village of about 80 houses taking us back to when times were really hard.Sitting there listening to the wind and the sound of the many sheep that were there.It a very peaceful feeling and you would try to imagine what the village was like when people live there.
