Overview

This walk includes sections of Penwith moorland and a spectacular part of the coast.  Starting from Bosullow the route will climb up to the top of  Watchcroft then down to Bosigran. We'll then cross fields and join the coast path to Porthmeor and Gurnard's Head. Turning back inland we'll pass through Treen and Bosporthennis and return past Brook Cottage and Four Parish Stone to the cars.
