If approaching using public transport, take the bus to Cove (Langdykes Rd). Walk east, and follow the path to the clifftops. Head north untill you see the pools (~15 Mins). 

Access Advice

Take the coastal path rather than cutting through the field.

Do not park blocking the railway bridge, use the carpark in Burnbanks Village
