Overview

Coast path out, inland back. 1600ft of ascent, so quite steep and hilly, but will be walked at a moderate pace. Some tricky stiles (no planks across, more like a gate). Narrow paths on steep hillsides in places - walking poles recommended. Otherwise the most fabulous views and scenery, with the opportunity for a cuppa or ice cream in Boscastle.
