Great walk! Even on a wet day - just make sure you have appropriate footwear. Theres a little cafe that looks like its seasonal opening hours and toilets at the start are great. Would definitely come back in warmer weather too.
Walker review
A lovely evening walk and a great place to see the sunset. However, the path around the golf course is very narrow and overgrown. It looks like it could be pretty muddy here after rain.
