October 2025 Enjoyed a stroll with my girlfriend on a wet and windy day. An excellent effort by men who served in the forces after World War l as part of the unemployment relief programme.

Beautiful scenery and a lovely local garden—peaceful, relaxing, and especially stunning when the plants are in bloom. Birds are everywhere, adding to the calming atmosphere. The area is well-maintained, with plenty of bins and benches to sit and enjoy the view. There’s also a charming beach hut café where you can grab a snack or breakfast. Morning walks here bring a sense of total peace.
