The towering rock faces and impressive cliffs along this part of the route are uniquely beautiful. Surrounded by green countryside, sheep graze in the meadows at the feet of the rocks. Bear in mind that the path here can become muddy after rain so you may need to push or lift your bike at times.

Here you pass impressive cliffs that you see in the distance. The sight can hardly be more idyllic, especially when fluffy sheep graze in the lush green meadows in the front of the rock walls.

There's a great coastal path near here that is worth a visit, but it can be pretty muddy. There are also sections that need to be walked, so be careful if you have a heavily-laden touring bike. There's some lifting involved.
