A truly beautiful place to visit via various routes. We took the comfortable stroll which is a mile. We were lucky enough to see a seal less than 100 ft from the pebbled beach too. Highly recommend 🙂

Lovely walk down by the river to the secluded beach, scenery was amazing. The walk back up to the car park was a bit harder as went the wrong way, signposting could be slightly better, but a lovely lady on a quad bike set us back on track (if she ever reads this thank you as we would still be lost now lol)

Went on easter Sunday with our 3 kids to do the easter trail and they really enjoyed themselves. It's a really beautiful place to go and the kids loved the beach, even though it's all rocks..they loved throwing them Into the sea. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you have the national trust pass.

Lovely walk in heddon valley to the beach. Easy walk. Great leaflet with the route and description available. There are harder longer walks but the short walk to the beach is great with young kids. Came back to the shop and had a lovely coffee and ice cream. The national trust shop/café is taking part in reusable travel cup scheme which is great to see and take part in.
