Question 1

Are there toilets?

Accepted Answer

There are toilets at the visitor centre.

Question 2

How long should I allow for in the car park?

Accepted Answer

We recommend 4 hours, to allow time for getting to and from the car park, the walk itself, and the breakfast at the end of the walk. Here is a link to the car park web page  - https://www.bcpcouncil.gov.uk/parking/find-a-car-park/hengistbury-head-car-park

Question 3

Do I have to stay for the breakfast?

Accepted Answer

Breakfast is optional. The walk will finish at Hiker Cafe at 8.30am. The staff will be there, ready to serve breakfast to those on the walk who wish to stay. The breakfast will cost £9.50  -  this includes the cooked breakfast (vegetarian option available) and a tea or filter coffee.

Question 4

How long will the walk last, and how far will we walk?

Accepted Answer

The walk will take 3 hours. We will probably walk around 3 to 4 miles, but there will be lots of stopping and starting to listen to and look at birds. A lot of the walk will be on level ground, but we might walk halfway up the hill if we have time, so this will involve some inclines.

Question 5

Do I need bring binoculars?

Accepted Answer

Bring them if you have them, but they are not essential.
