Grade B
This is a journey of contrasts in more ways than one. It offers committing exposed coastline with impressive cliffs and no landing, along with sheltered waters and sandy beaches. It has changing rock architecture and rock type around every corner. It has areas devoid of habitation, areas that used to be heavily populated now lying empty as a ghost town, and busy local fishing hamlets.
