The Two Towers: A Low Tide Exploration

A guided four-hour seabed walk between Icho and Seymour Towers on one of the year's lowest tides, among rock pools and unusual marine life.

A rare opportunity to walk on the seabed between Icho and Seymour Towers on one of the lowest tides of the year. Visitors explore one of Europe's largest rocky intertidal zones, accompanied by guides who have lived on this coast for many years, weaving between rocks, sandbanks and huge rock pools and perhaps meeting locals fishing for lobster and shellfish. Booking is online via the operator's website.

Very few people get the chance to walk between the two towers. Along the way there may be people out low-water fishing for lobster and shellfish. Walkers can take in the stillness and expanse of a place that is covered twice a day by some of the highest tides in the world (40ft), and see unusual marine life.

Duration: 4 hours. Distance: 5 miles. Terrain: moderate. Expect to get wet to just below the knees. Wellington boots or water shoes can be hired.

Note: this walk is only recommended for people with a good walking speed and includes uneven and wet surfaces.
