Description

During the open season (1st March � 31st October) at Burrowhead Holiday Village, please report to reception before setting out on your walk. Start on the road to the right of the holiday village reception building; follow it until you reach the fork before the cliffs then continue straight ahead. The path turns westwards and you will soon find a �Coastal Footpath � signpost. Follow the cliff top path, keeping towards the coastal side on the more open sections. On reaching the headland above Port Castle Bay look along the base of the cliffs to see the entrance to St Ninian�s Cave. It is well worth descending to the pebbly beach to explore the cave, where you will find an information board. Return to Burrow Head Holiday Village along the same route. You can buy refreshments from the site shop during the open season.
