Points of Interest/Notes on this walk:
The Watch House (a.k.a. Halfway House) was built in the 19th century as a look-out for smugglers before being used by the coastguard & the Girl Guides Association. It is now available for rent as basic holiday accommodation.
The shingle ridge begins at Weybourne & is currently some 12km (8 miles) long. Vegetated shingle like this is a very rare habitat. It is home to some rare plants such as horned sea poppy, sea pea and shrubby sea blight. Look out for sandwich terns throughout the walk.
