Rocky Valley was mentioned in travel books as a place of exceptional beauty as early as 1897 and is still completly unspoiled (now owned by the National Trust). The walk takes you along the Trevillet River through woodland and out into slate canyons where it meets the sea.
The walk starts along a quiet lane with nice views that takes you through Trenale and along a footpath to Bossiney where Sir Francis Drake was elected a member of Parliament. The route descends to Bossiney Haven and then follows the Tintagel coastline past Willapark headland until it reaches Barras Nose - the first coastal land ever purchased by the National Trust. From here the route heads into Tintagel past the Castle Hotel and runs through the centre of Tintagel past the Old Post Office and King Arthur's Great Halls before returning to Trewarmett via some back lanes. With a tactical geocaching diversion, the route can take you past 10 geocaches.
The walk starts in Bossinney opposite Bossiney Mound where a 12th Century castle once stood and later Sir Francis Drake was elected member of Parliament for Bossiney. There are specacular views over the coastline and the beach on the way down. The sandy sheltered beach is ideal for swimming.
The walk starts out across fields then follows the Trevillett river down Rocky Valley though woodland and out into the canyon leading to the sea. The walk then joins the coast path, climbing up onto the headland and behind Benoath Cove and on to Bossiney. The route turns inland though farmland back to the start of the walk.
Starting with a bus journey to Boscastle, this route follows the coastal path from Boscastle Harbour until it reaches the coastal slate quarries at Trebarwith Strand before turning inland through Treknow to reach the starting point in Trewarmett
