Winterton Dunes Circular Walk

At just one mile, the Winterton Dunes circular walk is a perfect route for young families wanting to explore this beautiful landscape. Don’t let the short length fool you; this area of the dunes is packed with exiting finds for the nature-lover. The site is home to an abundance of ferns, mosses and lichens, and nationally rare plant species such as the grey hair grass. Recent conservation work can be seen at the heart of the walk in the form of a rope fence, and this aims to help the dunes to recover and allow their naturally rich biodiversity to recover. In the summer months, the dunes host large colonies of butterflies, such as the dark green fritillary and grayling, and in the winter, there are often grey seals to be seen swimming off the beach. The walk is perfect for a still autumn day, cool blue skies and a pleasant quiet across the landscape.
