Beautiful, non-taxing, walk starting at the waterfalls, but can be extended up the hills to see the old goldmine. Watch out for lovely cows on the way back down!

An relatively easy walk, with mind-blowing views! The scale of the mine is hard to comprehend, and it's worth reading about the history of the place before you go.

Roadside cafe with delicious breakfasts, with a free carpark round the corner. 15 min walk to the beach. We highly recommend the breakfast baguette, but you do need to be hungry for it!

Such a lovely way to spend some time, and great for families too! Check out their Insta page for some of the beautiful things they have for sale if you don't fancy making something yourself, but it would be a fun holiday activity for sure, as you can also use "airdry clay" that doesn't need to be fired, so you can take them away with you when you go home!
