This is nature’s masterpiece! A truly gob smacking place. I parked the car approximately 1.5 miles north from Three Cliffs (just slightly north from the golf course) and I followed a brook down through a rich area of woodland. The woodland didn’t last for long but it opened up into a stunning hidden green valley with the brook now more of a little river meandering it’s way down and out of sight. Even though you’re in this lush green valley you are constantly reminded of how close to the sea you are as the main path is mostly made of sand (so it can be hard work). There are several little paths going down through the valley but I decided to stay on the main path as I wanted to see the castle ruins... yes there’s castle ruins. You need to divert off the main path that follows the river when you’re about half way down through the valley, where you’ll see a path (again sand) that leads of the main path directly up (it’s a tough but short climb) and at the top is the remains of what appeared to have been a good sized castle. You then stay at the top of the valley on the side of the golf course and follow the path all the way until it comes out right on the actual cliffs that form three cliffs. It’s best to go when the tides making its way out so you can walk down the footpath into the small bay next to three cliffs and then circle around the main rock formation and enter three cliffs... warning you will need to cross the river that flows right the Three Cliffs but as long as you go when the tides out then it’s...

If you park at the Three cliff holiday park(£5 that us paid in the shop and ticket to be displayed) it is half a mile downhill walk and indeed the walk back up the same hill. The stepping stones, the river and streams and the beach all are spectacular. We went with our dog and the kids and we all thoroughly enjoyed the scenery. We walked across the stream to the Cliff cave. But within minutes the tide had risen and we literally ran across the increasing tide which by this time has become about 3 feet deep. By the time we reached the bottom of the hill across the stepping stones the tide had covered the whole of the sandy Bank in between the river and the cliffs. Was certainly shocked by how quickly it all happened. PLEASE BEWARE OF THE RISING TIDES. THE DANGER SIGN WAS THERE FOR A REASON. We learnt it the hard way but was distracted by the beauty and serenity of this amazing place. Definitely go and visit but...
Read moreWe parked in the national trust car park which is just over the cattle grid near the top road, are Sat Nav from Google maps sent us half way down the steep road leading to a steep cliff top path which you can't turn round so just as a guide please park in the national trust carpark which is free Once we walked down the road to beach there is a very steep pathway but is manageable with a family Views are lovely sand is golden white fluffy sand Need to watch the tide to left hand side of beach 3 hours before high tide as it fills up to left first plus there is a undercurrent leading out to sea from a free flowing river to left which is shallow to walk accross on a low tide You would thoroughly enjoy...
