This section is more beautiful than the Apostles on the Great Ocean Route. And far more accessible - the SWCP is a great trail, and part of the route at the top is ok for wheel chairs.

The Bedruthan steps is a wonderfully scenic stretch of rocky coastline and sandy beach. The cliff top views from the South west Coast Path are great. Some of the beaches can be accessed at low tide via steep paths. The National Trust manage this area of coast and run a cafe.

Great view of the beautiful bay. If I come here again, I'll try to find the way down.

The steps have probably been closed for a while, as have all beach access at Porthcothan Beach. It's hard to tell from the highlights. The panorama is gigantic, but unfortunately there is no swimming break...
