Sightseeing

Lovely place to visit, either walking the costal path (if you have a spare few hours), or trip in the car with the children. You can walk to the lighthouse and beach. There is a little café to get a hot drink or ice cream. There is a small parking fee, remember to take some £.

Our local beach. A 15/20 minute walk from the cottage. You can walk across the new footpath by turning left out of the house and following the road all the way to the end (this way is only accessible via foot). Or by car, turn right out of the drive, right at the top of Flanders road, and follow the road to Col-huw beach. There is a little beach café serving food, drinks and ice cream. It is cash only so remember your £. Free parking.
