This walk covers a route, which is about 1 mile long (1.6 km), and should take you about an hour of easy walk to complete.
I suggest you park your car in the main car park on Station Road. The walk ends there as well. This car park was used as the filming location in the movie Die Another Day, where the Aston was chased by the green Jaguar.
