Description of the walk

Park your car at North cliffs National Trust car park.

(S/E) Head to the path at the end of the car park, go straight at the first junction (follow the yellow arrow) and go across a field.

(1) Continue the path along the cliff leading to Navax Point and bear slightly left towards the OS marker triangulation point. From this point, you can see Godrevy Point, Godrevy Island and St Ives far away on clear days as well!

(2) The path goes past Kynance Cove (be careful, the cliffs are very steep, keep children closely supervised) and finally reaches the guardrail overlooking Mutton Cove below. It's very impressive! Walk around Godrevy Point with very nice viewpoints over Godrevy Island, the lighthouse and St Ives Bay. Notice that the headland is a Bronze Age burial site where a barrow was built.

(3) You reach Godrevy car park. bear left along the car park, ascend straight the large path going back to Mutton Cove. From this point, retrace your steps using exactly the same way to go back to North Cliffs car park(S/E)
