This 12.55Km Walk Starts And Finishes From The Oxich Camping Ground As We Were Staying There At The Time. However, There Is A Public Car Park As You Enter The Village Which Is A Better Starting Point For Day Visitors. There Are Some Long, Gentle Climbs Which Make This Route Quite Demanding But Well Worth It For The Stunning Views Across The Peninsula And The Coast Line.
