Soar Mill Cove

A National Trust circular walk of around 4.5 miles from Bolberry Down car park, dropping down to the sandy beach at Soar Mill Cove and back across coastal farmland. The Access for All path at Bolberry Down is suitable for wheelchairs and buggies; the full circuit involves kissing gates, field paths and a zig-zag down to the cove. Plan two to three hours.
