When the weather cools a bit, you might like to walk our Audio Trail, it can be done in sections and is self-guided, or you can listen to the files at home on your phone or computer. Hear about the Pier, the smugglers and much more. Our leaflet with map can be obtained from the Heritage centre or the library. It took 7 of us 2 years to produce the trail. A great deal of work researching, writing scripts, deciding the route and walking it many time in all weathers and times of day to fine-tune it. We had to mention dropped kerbs and places to cross the road so it was disabled friendly. Also a lot of planning went into the leaflet and map. One of our magazines gives a brief account of what we did in the two years, a lot of work for such a small team to complete.
