Description

Park your car at Port Quin car park (National Trust).

(S/E) Head towards "Coast path, Polzeath 5 1/2m" signpost. The road bends left next to the cove, then sharply right and a bit steep for 100 metres before you reach three steps and a stile on your right (coast path to Pentire).

(1) Go down the path along bushes. The path follows the valley until you reach a signpost with a yellow arrow (Epphaven). Go straight until you join the track.

(2) Use the track a few metres, go past Doyden Castle by left side along the cliffs heading to Doyden Point. The view of Port Quin Cove is lovely and the bay is really lovely. Retrace your steps to the signpost with yellow arrow using the track. Take the path straight across the open meadow below the white house ignoring the way going up to this house. You are back to the first stile. Go down the road leading to the car park.(S/E)
