Closest access to the beach from the house. Unfortunately, they have closed the access to the beach from the railway in from of the house. This is the closest spot to reach the beach. Small carpark and some fascinating fishing huts to the east.

Stunning beach - white sand, a brooding castle ruin (albeit one that can't actually be seen from the beach). Popular with dog walkers but this place is huge so never crowded.
