Secluded beaches, pretty coves, rocky cliffs and coastal hamlets provided a great day out walking for Ola and her family.

Here is what Ola had to say:

“The views were stunning and the experience was amazing! There were plenty of opportunities for ‘postcard’ photos and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Although the weather was not great at this time of year it was still a fun adventure.

Definitely recommend it to groups of friends and families with teenage children!”
