Hiking
This section of the Cape Wrath Trail brings you to Sandwood Bay, one of Britain's most picturesque beaches. It's a gorgeous hike that undulates through windswept peat moorland to the famously beautiful beach.
The land is owned and managed by the John Muir Trust, who work to ensure the biodiversity of the region. So as to not disturb the local wildlife, stick to the paths and keep dogs on a lead.

The way to the beach is an experience. Over hill and dale and sand. Through heather, mud and colorful flowers. A little feeling of moorland.

Good path, and as you progress the sense of quiet and isolation increases.
