Pasture and rough pasture from the road, more demanding than I'd expected. Lots of anxious birds but keeping their distanceColin Crawford31/07/2023

Coastal walk from the lighthouse with Minto & Bryer. Afterwards we visited Noltland Castle, the trig (34m) at North Laskaill and the trig at Whitelet (30m).Dangerous Dave31/07/2022
Ambly loop from beyond the farm, where gravel track was exciting enough. Avoiding fields with lambs. Ontoopen moor. Great B Back Gull and Great Skua bombing ….lovely wild flowers. Many fledged birds. Some avian bird flu evident by carcasses.VerySlowPlodder03/06/2022
Detour from cliff path after walk from Backarass to Noup.the pigguy 20/03/2020
From. Noup Head, along coastal path and then up directly ridge to top. A couple of Bonxies near the top, but they were being kept occupied by a few gulls. Back down by fence to track, avoiding the direct route as field had plenty of cattle.PeterD26/06/2019
A good walk. Jon Glew's 4WD was needed to get to the lighthouse car park, not good for a 2WD. Circumnavigating the lighthouse wall is exciting, then a stroll to Noup Head. Good walking along the cliff edge with spectacular views of geos, cliffs and caves, to head up North Hill from the SW along a grassy/rocky ridge. Down to the inland variant of the cliff path and back to the lighthouse.Gill26/02/2019
Parked at Noup Head lighthouse. Lovely cliff walk before veering off inland for North Hill.jonglew26/02/2019
