It is beautiful cycling here and although it is (still) allowed, this is really a place to pay extra attention. With several holiday parks in the immediate vicinity, it is almost always busy with walkers - who unfortunately often do not anticipate cyclists and quickly grumble about it. From experience I know that when there is a nuisance, cyclists always get the short end of the stick. Cycling here? Definitely do it! But please do it quietly and extra friendly... in this way we can hopefully enjoy this place together for a long time.
