DISTANCE & DIFFICULTY
Distance: 9 miles. This is quite a hilly hike with amazing views along the way.
WHAT TO BRING
• Appropriate clothes & footwear - ideally walking shoes

Cliffs - danger
There are sheer drops off the cliffs and some of these soft chalk cliffs are crumbling at the edges with chunks regularly falling and no fencing in place.
Please keep at least 3 metres away from the edges. If you fall, or the ground at the edge of the cliff collapses, it will almost certainly be fatal.
