Overview

From Anthorn we walk through the village and along the road to Cardurnock then to the bird sanctuary at Campfield - a good quiet road along the coast. Then we walk through the bird sanctuary with good paths, hides, ponds and lots of birds to see. We end up back at Anthorn with a short road walk back to the cars. No hills or stiles and very little mud even after a lot of rain.
