The highlight of the second walk of 2015 is the end of the world atmosphere of the beach around Sunderland Point. The route runs above the mean high water line - but do check on the tides, as this part of the walk is impassable at high spring tides. The route comprises short lengths along minor roads, field paths and farm tracks as well as along the rocky beach. Most of the buildings in Sunderland are Grade II Listed and the whole hamlet is a Conservation Area. It is inaccessible to road traffic for about 2 hours at either side of high tide, however the footpaths used to reach the hamlet are accessible whatever the state of the tide (and there is an alternative to the beach route if the tide is too high to make it passable).
