You will need to be very fit to get to this orchard. Do not attempt if old or infirm or with a pram. Starting off from the harbour sea front, and walking up a very steep hill on the main road, just past the Naval College.

There is newly laid gravel path, which is a great help. As the orchard is on a very step slope.
