The walk runs down the valley from Middle Hendra and climbs onto the headland above Barrett's Zawn. There is tunnel to the beach through which slate used to be hauled - it's possible to crawl through to the beach though not it's recommended for the feint-hearted or without a torch. You can also get down onto the rock platform at Delabole Point (without any tunnels).

The walk continues along the coast to the ravine at Dannonchapel, heading inland past a ruined farm along footpaths and lanes to the start of the walk.
The route goes past Jeffrey's Pit in Trebarwith Valley and through the woods and fields to Jenkins Quarry. It then follows a droving track into Delabole passing the quarrymens' cottages along Pengelly until it reaches Delabole Quarry. The route skirts around the edge of the quarry and then heads back down Bowithick Hill to Sanding Road. It passes through the Bowithick Quarry slate tips to the Prince of Wales Quarry where there is a restored engine house. The final stretch is back up Trewarmett Hill passing the quarrymen's cottages on the way.
The route heads up over the West Downs from Tregardock then heads down to the coast at Crookmoyle rock. The route then follows the coast path down a steep valley at Jacket's Point and up the very steep ridge on the other side. The path then runs behind Trerubies Cove to Tregardock Beach which you can get to at low tide. From the beach there's a short walk back uphill to the start of the route.
The walk descends steeply to the valley floor from Trewarmett with excellent views and climbs the other side valley (also with excellent views). From here there is a long gentle descent through fields and farms to Tregardock Beach. From Tregardock the route joins the coast path over "The Mountain" before a steep descent to Backways Cove. From Backways there is a gentle ascent of the valley followed by gentle descent into Trebarwith valley with nice views up the valley, to the valley floor. The final stretch takes you back up the other side of the valley through Trebarwith Valley Nature Reserve to the fields in Treknow from which there are more spectacular views across the valley in the other direction.
