WALKING

are still relatively unfrequented and little restraint is put on
walkers. Nearby there are stunning unspoilt beaches, forest walks, quiet
country roads and a wealth of historical sites to explore. The more energetic
walker will discover the inaccessible spots; the dramatic cliff walks;
the remote hills, glens and lakes which the driver misses.
