The long distance path starts from the northern end of the harbour, and goes up steps to the Portpatrick Hotel, then an old BT building and the golf course.
Looking down on the end of the old railway line. |
Be careful about that 'evasive action'! |
Port Kale and Port Mora where Dunskey Glen meets the sea |
The Coastal Interpretation Centre - though no one was interpreting today. |
There are a couple of sections with steps and handrails |
Tormentil and spring squill |
To the Lighthouse - privately owned, so no coffee here! |
From walkhighlands.co.uk
"The lighthouse was built in 1900, although the dangerous crosscurrents have still caused some shipwrecks including that of the Craigantlet, a container ship which ran aground in 1982 - the remains can still be seen in the bay below."
Looking away from the sea, this could almost have been Derbyshire. |
An orchid...? |
...and another one? |
Down the steps |
A cove |
and a cave |
Looking down into Portpatrick |
The route |
And it wasn't flat. |
