Most of the walk is along the top of cliffs, giving super views into sandy coves and rocky headlands; but there are lots of opportunities to go down to beaches. Across the Moray Firth there are extensive views extending from the Black Isle to Helmsdale, about 50 miles away. The paths are good and mostly dry; but boots are advised. Food and drink are available at either end of the walk.
