Tips for Visiting The Berry#
- If trying to reach remote coastal viewpoints, check tidal charts as some routes skirting rocks and beaches are tide-dependent.
- Local crofters or shepherds in the area are often happy to point out lesser-known paths-ask rather than rely solely on maps.
- Expect strong winds and sudden weather shifts-layer up and keep a windproof outer layer handy.
