This is well worth the effort - both ways. Very steep descent but stepped all the way down. The section between the wooden footbridge and the beach can be a bit dicey if the beck is in spate or at high tide. You will be walking on relatively flat rocks with good footing, but they can be slippery, the flowing water may be inches from your feet and there is a handrail for safety.
