Staff Recommendations

Gavin Scott Moncrieff, Owner

 

"The coastal walk north is the most rewarding of all the walks. It takes in low level shore stretches, narrow steep passes and sheer cliff views.  Depending on the time of year cliff nesting birds are a delight to see so close up and whales, basking sharks, seals and otters are all seen frequently!"
