NEW for weekend 19 & 20 June 2021
This walk is a set of viewpoints which can all be visited and enjoyed individually! These can be combined with a very short stroll around each viewpoint’s area, or joined up using local byways.
The viewpoints have been selected for their scenic views and to highlight coastal/tidal flooding, river/fluvial flooding, and standing water.
Map, photos, tips, and helpful info are all here.

And with rising sea levels, what does the future hold?
