Stay within the durable parts of the landscape
Use formed tracks, designated beach access and existing campsites. Dunes and vegetation can be fragile, and a shortcut creates impacts that outlast a photograph. Follow signage around wildlife and give animals space rather than offering food.
Pack out rubbish and plan for limited facilities. A lower-impact visit is mostly a series of ordinary decisions made before something becomes a problem.
Be a good temporary local
Shop locally, keep noise considerate and allow extra time during busy periods. If conditions make a planned route unsuitable, choose another experience instead of pushing the impact somewhere more fragile.
- Bring reusable bottles and food containers.
- Keep music and night-time noise to a minimum.
- Never feed wildlife.
- Share current official condition information rather than rumours.
Common questions
What is the easiest lower-impact habit?
Stay on formed access routes and take all rubbish back out with you.
Why avoid feeding wildlife?
Feeding can alter behaviour, harm animals and create safety problems. Observe from a respectful distance instead.
