Description

This very long coastal road, along mainly high clifftops is South facing. Due to the length of this road, and many steep roads a car is a distinct advantage. There are many roadside car pull ins. The route passes a considerable amount of windblown tree and shrub areas (called brakes here), that are good for Spring/Autumn migrants and resident species. During South/SouthWest/South East winds Pelagic species get closer to shore here. During Autumn/Winter check the waters offshore for Divers/Grebes/Seaducks that are almost guaranteed depending on weather conditions.
