Overview

A 12 mile moderate walk starting at Sand Bay Bus Terminal car park (BS22 9UE) heading north along the beach to the National Trust Sand Point with views of Sand Bay, Flat Holm, Steep Holm and Birnbeck pier. A few steps and slight incline initially then walk out along Swallow cliff, rocky and uneven under foot in some areas and if wet could be slippery, then back via Middle Hope and the field system. Head south to Woodspring Priory (remains of Augustinian priory) with the mudflats to the east and then via a very quiet lane followed by open fields and a section of bridleway to Worle Hill. Walk along a footpath through Worlebury Golf Club, and a short walk through a residential area and then into Ashcombe Wood and Weston Woods. Head through the woods back to Sand Bay.  Dog friendly but would need to be on a lead in most areas due to livestock and terrain. Only 1 ladder stile on the walk for anyone adventurous and also a gate next to it for those who aren't.
