Rangers coastal walk, Gullane to North Berwick

With the wind at our backs and the sun in our faces (availability permitting), this one-way coastal walk of 11km / 7 miles will take us past beaches, rocky outcrops, islands and caves.

Your Countryside Ranger guide will point out interesting wildlife along the way from things washed up on the strand line to birds migrating overhead.

We will be walking mainly along beach and path terrain, with some short sections over rock. We will go at a fairly easy pace – the slower we go, the more we see!
