Walk directions
Leave the car park at the bottom end through a gate by the last house and follow the track ahead for 0.3 miles (0.5km). Ignore the signposted link to the coast path. Where the track bends to the left (signposted) continue on a secondary track directly ahead to reach a field gate in a few steps. Beyond the gate, keep straight ahead to go over a stile in the wall to your right, just 107 left of an opening into another field. Turn left along the field-edge. Cross another stile, then continue to open ground by a gate in a fence on the right.
Go over the wooden stile, then bear half left along a path to reach Natural England's National Nature Reserve. Keep ahead towards distant buildings. At a large field, keep along its left edge.
