Now, if you are a big fan of 1930s dredges, you will not want to miss this... In the midst of stunning West Coast scenic splendour is this dismal half hour track through gorse to a disused industrial site. If you carry on well past this frankly ugly walk and go right to the end of the beach, it starts to get nice. Until that point, the scenery (if you can call it that) on this walk all looks rather post-apocalyptic.

And if you are not a big fan of dredges, go somewhere else. The cafés in Fox are excellent.
