Cap Drastis via the hills

You can park along the road on the grass verges.

(S/E) Head north-east: the start of the wide path is very easy to spot on the left just past where you’ve parked. You’ll soon reach a three-way junction.

(1) Turn left. Ignore the first path on the right, then a second on the left, and continue to a third junction.

(2) Turn right and walk down to the sea.

(3) Turn left and enjoy the view. Keep walking straight ahead.

(4) Leave the path on your right – the one you’ll take back after visiting the headland – and carry on straight ahead to the car park. Then turn right to reach the viewpoint.

(5) Carry on in the same direction, rounding two hairpin bends, then turn your back on the headland as you follow the path.

(6) After admiring Cap Drastis from above, turn left to walk down and see it from below. Follow the wide path to the end.

(7) Turn round and head back to the junction.

(6) Follow the small path in front of you as you climb; you can’t miss it. Join the path you took on the way there.

(4) Turn left and retrace your steps.

(3) Carry on straight ahead.

(8) Ignore the path on the right and carry on straight ahead. The path then curves to the right and eventually rejoins the original junction.

(1) Head diagonally to the left, join the road, then turn right to return to where you parked (S/E).

There are no water sources along the path, so make sure you bring enough water.
