Anniversary walk, which was not ‘easy’ as advertised! Amazing scenery and sea views though!
Heddon's Mouth- South West Coast Path Walk的点评
点评:Car park terrain was bumpy, uneven and with water-filled pot holes due to bad weather when we visited. Not impressed having to pay for a poorly-maintained car park. On-site toilets were very unpleasant - floor soaking wet (slip hazard) with nasty spiders, plus lack of soap in one, and a horrible stench of urine!
National Trust claim the walk to Heddon’s Mouth is ‘easy’ and ‘gentle’. This is not true! The walk was definitely moderate, with rocky terrain and lots of steep inclines/declines, made more challenging by the rain. It took us around 35 minutes in each direction, therefore it was a good job we paid extra money for the car park (one hour, as misadvised by a male staff member, would not be enough!) However, the scenery along the way was nice and autumnal. Lovely to hear the rushing river. The sea views at the end of the walk were very impressive and picturesque! Definitely worth braving the trek just for that! It helped make our anniversary even more special. Bought some reasonably priced sweet treats and drinks from the shop afterwards, female staff member was friendly and helpful.
翻译:我们去的时候天气不好,停车场地面崎岖不平,到处都是积水的坑洼。要为维护如此糟糕的停车场付费,实在令人失望。停车场内的厕所也极其糟糕——地面湿漉漉的(容易滑倒),还有讨厌的蜘蛛,其中一个厕所甚至没有肥皂,而且弥漫着一股难闻的尿骚味!
国民信托声称前往赫顿河口的徒步路线“轻松”且“平缓”。这完全是无稽之谈!这条路线难度适中,路面崎岖不平,有很多陡峭的坡道,下雨更是雪上加霜。我们单程大约花了35分钟,所以多付停车费真是明智之举(一位男工作人员错误地建议我们停一个小时,但实际上根本不够!)。不过,沿途的景色优美,充满了秋日气息。聆听潺潺的河水声令人心旷神怡。徒步路线尽头的海景更是令人叹为观止,美不胜收!光是这景色就值得我们跋涉一番!这让我们的周年纪念日更加特别。之后我们在店里买了一些价格合理的甜点和饮料,女店员热情友好,乐于助人。
