Join us for a gentle guided walk from the iconic Souter Lighthouse. This walk is perfect if you’ve only got an hour or prefer a shorter distance.

Learn about the intriguing history of the area, including the ‘lost village’ of Marsden. Along the way, spot a variety of wildlife and plants. Keep an eye out for sea birds and learn more about the nature-rich coastal grasslands.
