Join us for our first guided walk of the season where we welcome the start of Spring. This is a circular walk on Belle Tout enjoying the fauna and flora found there.

Starting from Birling Gap we walk to Shooters Bottom, going through the Meadow and Horseshoe Plantation on the way. Celebrating the start of Spring we will be looking at the fauna and flora. We then head up to Belle Tout lighthouse, over to Lookout Hill before heading back to Birling Gap. For those that prefer a gentler walk there is a turnaround point at Shooters Bottom.
