Overview

Almost totally flat circular walk in woods through Gosford Estate with a walk to Aberlady beach. Drive through Longniddry on A198, turn down toward the beach, turn right at the tee junction past the Bents. Take the first right through an opening in the Estate boundary wall. Unfortunately,there is no clear signs for the farm. I will stand at the opening to the farm road to ensure everyone gets to the farm. This is a new start point for the walk and avoids parking in Longniddry roads.
