Walks on the path just hit different in the winter. ❄️
We've enjoyed watching murmurations at dusk, realised that wintry coastal sunsets are equally stunning as summer ones, and meeting up for chilly bit invigorating beach walks and warming up in a local cafe afterwards is a great mental health booster.
But,there’s more sunshine and warmth at the end of the long winter tunnel. Signs of spring are abound with more daylight hours to enjoy out on the path. We love seeing your coastal path walks on our social channels so keep tagging us!
