The beginning is uphill, stone gravel pathway. Once up top the path stays fairly level, slight ups and downs. The path will turn to a foot path for a short while and later to a wetter muddy path depending on the weather. Eventually you will return to paved roads. I have included a few pictures. Sea views and rolling hills, farmland and golf course. A lovely gentle walk.
