Before setting off: check weather, tides, flood information, parking, toilets, public transport and the complete return journey. Keep working quays clear and never assume a filming location is open to visitors.
Morning — arrive and orient
Start at the visitor-information area or station, check weather and tide conditions, then follow a public route towards the harbour and Guildhall.
Midday — harbour and local lunch
Cross the bridge, watch the working harbour without obstructing it, and choose an independent local lunch stop.
Afternoon — Banjo Pier and flexible finish
Continue only if conditions and access suit you. Keep an indoor or shorter alternative and leave time for the return journey.
Check before you go
No stale certainty: transport, parking, access, opening and weather change. A useful guide tells you where to check—not just what was true once.
