Hiking

Approaching Castle Beach Bay can feel a little bit like discovering your own secluded and often deserted beach. The beach backs onto a wooded valley and offers views of Dale Fort and headland. This was built in Victorian times, inside a larger settlement dating back to the Ice Age, the remains of which can still be seen. Also, look out for the ruined limekiln and the lime kiln workers cottage.

Running

The path that winds its way down into Castle Beach Bay is a treat. The little wooded valley has a hidden-away feel and its tiny beach is often deserted. Castle Beach gives views of Dale Fort. The Victorian fort was built inside a far larger Iron Age settlement, the remains of which can still be seen. Also look out for a ruined limekiln. Beyond the bay the path climbs up through the woodland. Keep an eye out for a ruined cottage, once occupied by the lime kiln workers.
