A lovely flat walk on paths (which can sometimes be a little muddy in places after it’s rained) to start, over a few stable foot bridges, followed by a tarmac lane.
For half of the walk you are on a coastal path. I recommend checking tide times if you have a swimming lover and walk at high tide… otherwise there is lots of sea mud that Rufus loves to charge through! 🙈
There are 4 poo bins at the start/ end of the walk at the carpark.
There is a small coffee van (The Diddy Van) at the Sea Scouts on Mondays and Fridays between 9:00 and 13:00. When you enter the boatyard, on your right hand side are ‘The Huts’. You can get good drinks, cakes and cafe style food here. They’re open Tuesday - Sunday.
If you’d rather not walk back on the lane you can turn right to go back towards the boatyard and loop around that way (see photo with houses in the background). Until you get to the lane you could do the whole walk off lead, however with our ‘sometimes unreliable’ recall we’d recommend popping them on the lead to walk through the boatyard to prevent any unwanted cafe visits! This is one of our go to walks so please say hello if you see us!
