Waypoints

  1. S : km 0 - alt. 28 m
  2. 2 : km 0.95 - alt. 20 m - The Dunes - Astonishingly beautiful landscape of sub-tropical plants, white sand and sea. But beware - for it can turn into quite something else, a landscape of bitter whipping chill cold, dark storm and treacherous shipwreck. Such is Cornwall, a land of extremes...
  3. 3 : km 1.42 - alt. 21 m - Cliff View - The famed azure sea and rich flora of Cornwall.
  4. 4 : km 1.75 - alt. 23 m - The Fairy Well - A Holy Well on the cliff-face associated with St Euny. Known locally as the wishing well or fairy well. Inaccessible and dangerous, but popular nonetheless.

No, this is the Red River that rises in Towednack, and is known in Conrish as Dowr Amal - 'Boundary River'. You will cross it again when you reach Marazion, where it joins the sea.
