Description of the walk

Start : Car Park along the North Cliffs (TR14 0HQ) Grid Ref. SW 61973 42953 , W2W-united.currently.eggshell__

(S/E) From the car park, follow the South West Coast Path, along North Cliff in a North-East direction, to the gate leading into farm fields. Go through the gate and follow along the designated path within the field. There is a strip of field that has been left to "rewild". This is new, so would be interesting to see as time goes.

(1)After 1.1 Km or so, at the end of the field and next to the farm gate leading into the next field, turn right South- East.

(2) At the end of the path cross the main road (B3301), care as the road bends away from sight. Be visible and not obscured by the roadside vegetation. Crossing the road and slightly right, through the driveway with cattle grid entrance, signed "Rangers Cottage". Follow on down the drive.

(3)Now enter the Tehidy Country Park where there are designated, colour-coded circular walk routes. Look out for the route marker posts.

(4)This takes the route off track and through the woods where there are several well-trodden tracks. Track down through the wood and pick up the Rangers drive and return from the waypoint (3) to the start using the same way returning back through the fields and Coast Path. (S/E)
