The steps down to Orchard Bay, St Lawrence will be re-opened tomorrow (Wednesday) after being closed for around two years.
They lead to a wonderful small beach (see our photo sphere below), popular with locals due to being tucked away from hoards of holiday-makers.
Finalising works
The Rights of Way maintenance team will be finalising the works on the steps tomorrow. There won’t be an official opening ceremony, but they should re-open by the end of the day.
Hurrah for Community Association
St Lawrence Community Association have worked tirelessly to obtain the necessary funding and approvals to install the new steps down.
The landowners have also been instrumental in achieving the re-opening of the path, allowing the steps to be installed on their land.
Virtual visit to the beach
If you haven’t been down to Orchard Bay before, take a look around our October 2013 Photo Sphere of the beach below.
Click into the photo and move your mouse/cursor around to see around the beach (ignore the vertical black line, this was one of our first attempts at photo spheres).
