Hike & Cycle Cavendish’s Trails
Autumn is one of the best times of year to walk and bike the trails in Cavendish! The temperatures are perfect and the leaves are at their colourful peak in September and October. Cavendish’s trails are in the National Park and have coastal, farm, and woodland views. Take a look at our trail map here!
Walk Along the Cavendish Shore
Cavendish Beach is known for its long coastline, sandstone cliffs, and rippling sand dunes. In the summer, the beach is busy with beach-goers. Although it is too chilly for swimming in autumn, it is a lovely place to enjoy a quiet beach walk and listen to the waves crash against the shore.
