Sightseeing
Such a beautiful beach in all seasons, never too busy, great little caves to explore. It’s a lovely walk around to Botany Bay either along the beach and over some rocks or along the cliff top when the tide is coming in (important to check).
It is best to park near to Botany Bay (lots of free parking there). There’s also a pub there with good food. As well as a great gastro pub with indoor play area overlooking kingsgate Bay.

A little patch of beautiful woodland very close to the cottage. It’s lovely to walk around the woods then along the side of the field into the extensive historic churchyard. Lovely in all seasons.
