Nice loop over mostly decent paths. A bit slippy in wet weather. Suggest going clockwise if you have joint problems so you avoid descending on the rougher paths. Sea views are amazing. Just don't be a selfie-idiot and perch on the cliff edge ( we saw a few).

Stunning multi-day hike! Very well signposted, and a great mix of trails.
