Seal Pup Walk
The Seal Pup Walk follows a cliff top path where we can observe the pups and adults from above without causing them any disturbance.
Between October and December every year, Grey Seals gather on the nursery beaches to pup. The Seal Pup Walk follows a cliff top path where we can observe the pups and adults from above without causing them any disturbance. There is always lots to see from new-born pups to older ones that are moulting, adult females arguing over beach space or the bulls waiting for their opportunity to mate. In addition to the Grey Seals, we will also keep an eye out for other wildlife including and enjoy the spectacular scenery.
It is possible to extend this walk if you are interested in a longer walk. Walk length 2-3 hours and approx 2 miles.
