What the paths are like
Most of the coast paths follow sandy tracks along the clifftops. Some stretches are soft sand, which is slower going than it looks. There are a few short climbs where the path drops down to a cove.
When to go
Spring and autumn are good seasons for walking here. The light is clear, the paths are quieter and the temperature is right for walking.
What to wear
Light layers, a sun hat and sun cream, and shoes with a good grip on sand. Gaiters help on the sandiest stages.
Water and breaks
There are long stretches without cafés, so carry at least a litre and a half of water. On our trips we stop for picnic lunches with a view of the sea.
Respect the coast
Stay on the marked paths, keep away from the cliff edges and take your litter home. Some of the coast is a protected nature park.
