Overview

This is a varied walk that takes in the new coast path between Porthallow and Porthoustock. It includes a lovely wooded valley up to St Keverne, then an interesting journey through fields and tracks to Gillan Creek, followed by a return to our cars via the coastpath.  If the weather is poor this 11 mile walk will be shortened to 8 miles by missing out Porthoustock and St Keverne. Note that there is a fair bit of ascent and descent on this walk.
