Start from the car park (honesty box) at the end of Shore Road. Park carefully as the highest tides can cover the car park. Walk back towards the village along Shore Road, and 40m before the Silverdale Hotel turn right along a gravel drive between a house and a garage. A footpath leads on to emerge at Lindeth Road. Turn right and walk past Kayes Nursery Gardens to a junction at Wolfhouse Gallery. Keep straight on the narrower lane at Gibraltar Farm past Lindeth Tower and soon there is access on the right to Jack Scout, a National Trust area of heathland. Descend to see the restored limekiln. See how the top of the kiln was lined with sandstone to prevent the kiln itself burning away.

Limekiln at Jack Scout

Continue on the path opposite the kiln, over a slight rise and curving left. Soon you reach the edge of Cow’s Mouth; keep along the cliff top on a fenced path with beautiful views over the bay. Don’t miss the Giant’s Seat, a few metres up grass on the left, a large slab of limestone with a walled back, in a commanding position.
