Today’s walk was From Douglas to Derbyhaven along the coastal path. We should have started at the top of Douglas Head but due to 2 hour parking only we drove further down marine drive to the first car park. So we did about a mile by car.WAlk should have been about 13/14 miles.
The first part of the walk was along Marine Drive,
which is closed to traffic in the middle section due to landslips. This
road has been used for many films for car chasers. Few
years back we were stop doing this walk due to an action film in
progress.
This road leads us to Port Soderick was once a good beech amusement area in its heyday. Today its in rack and ruin. The building is boarded up and the old walkways around the cliff have seen better days. Helen said when she was young they came down here and had great times. Its is little way of the main road and the stream train does stop at the station ¼ mile up the road. We once got told a famous chef bought one of the buildings but looks like they did not have the money to inject into.

So from here the path heads inland to follow the
road for few miles before heading back to the coast. Pity the government
cannot get the landowners to open the path along the coast
from Port Soderivk.
We come back to the coast at Santon Head where the path is very over grown and we head down to small beech area f Port Grenaugh that was littered with old BBQs.
Then we head along the high cliffs to Port Soldrick
where we looked down on the young sea birds in the nests plus a kestal
who was not happy we was on the path. Kept making a lot
of noise, which meant we were near a neat.
Soon the path leads back inland, but if you wanted you could make your way down to a stone beach area then try and get a cross a small river. But with the amount of rain that’s been around the small river looked eeep. So we went inland but this was very muddy and wet. Once out you end back to the coast path where the airport runway comes into site. This was made longer few years back and they built the runway out to sea using very large boulders. We watched the barges few years back bringing the rock in. There is now a good path been built and you do come very close the planes as they land and take off.
