A circular path leads through the old slate tips, past the quarry pit (now a lake with a small waterfall) and up to the engine house which has good views of the valley and coastline. The slate tips are now being colonised by wildflowers and birds of prey.
Here there is a network of small fields you can explore which are full of wildflowers in spring and wildlife particularly early in the morning. From the downs there are spectacular views over the old engine house at the Prince of Wales quarry, Port Isaac Bay, Trebarwith Valley and Tintagel.
This walk takes you along the coast from Tintagel's ancient church to Penhallic Point where slate was once loaded into boats from Lanterdan quarry at Trebarwith Strand. There are spectacular coastal views and in winter waves explode over Penhallic point.
A short walk through secluded woodland along the stream. In spring the woods are carpeted in flowers including primroses, bluebells and wood sorrel. This is a good place to see wildlife as relatively few people go up here.
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.
This walk takes you along the coast between two of Tintagel's most famous ancient sites. There are excellent views of both the church and the castle, and over Port Isaac Bay.
The walk starts in the tiny Trebarwith Village and descends through fields and onto coastal heath alongside a stream to Backways Cove. Peregrine falcons nest nearby and you may see them flying over the cliffs. In a big winter storm, sea foam collects in the cove and is whipped into foam tornados by the wind.
Via a lane to Treknow, the route joins the coast path at Hole Beach and follows it past Penhallic Point to the ancient St Materiana Church. From the church the route continues on the coast path to Tintagel Castle. There are spectacular coastal views all the way. From the Castle the route (or if you prefer, the landrover service) climbs the Vale of Avalon into Tintagel. Rather than going through Tintagel, the route goes down past the vicarage through fields along the valley that runs next to Tintagel. The route then leaves Tintagel for Treven, cutting across the fields towards Trewarmett Downs and joining a lane which takes you back to Trewarmett. From the lane back there are panoramic views of Tintagel and St Materiana church.
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.
This walk follows the stream up from Jeffrey's Pit through bluebell woods emerging at the top of Trebarwith Valley overlooking Trewarmett. The walk follows the ridge seawards and then drops down into valley with spectacular views back up to Trewarmett and down to the sea. The route continues right down to the valley floor past an old mill and then 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
This walk takes you from Trebarwith Strand along the coastal slate quarries to Penhallic Point where slate was once loaded into boats from Lanterdan quarry at Trebarwith Strand. There are spectacular coastal views and in winter waves explode over Penhallic point.
The walk starts with a gentle descent down a lane into Treknow followed by a footpath that leads to Trebarwith Strand. From Trebarwith Strand there is one fairly steep (but reasonably short) ascent on the coast path to the cliffs and then it's fairly flat all the way. The path across the cliffs has magnificent views of Denis Point, Trebarwith Strand, the coastal slate quarries (now colonised by birds and flowers) and Penhallic point. The walk back is through some pleasant fields and lanes.
The walk starts with a climb out from Boscastle Harbour onto Forrabury Common and joins the coast path passing the medieval field system of "stitches" and the coastguard lookout. The route follows the coast path past the seabird colonies on the rock stacks of Trevalga before descending into Rocky Valley. The walk then follows the river to the top of Rocky Valley and then climbs up to Trethevy where there is a medieval chapel and well. The route from here heads across farmland to Trevalga passing the church and ancient wayside cross before reaching Forabury where there is tea and coffee available in the church before finally descending into Boscastle close to 2 pubs and an excellent bakery.
This walk also starts along the lane through Trenale but this time goes to the very end. The route then descends through pretty woodland into Rocky Valley through slate canyons where it meets the sea. From here it climbs up onto the coast path towards Boscastle. Further along the coast it loops back into the pretty hamlet of Trevalga and across fields to Trethevy. From here it passes St Piran's Chapel and Well and descends into St Nectan's Glen, climbs out of the other side and along the lane back to Trewarmett. For avid geocachers this is another good one - there are up to 9 geocaches within reach of this route.
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
The walk starts out on the lane past Trenale and then drops down into St Nectan's Glen before climbing the wooded valley alongside the river. From here it crosses some fields and joins a lane leading to Condolden Barrow - the highest point in the area with excellent views. Tracks and footpaths then lead back past the slate quarries of Trebarwith Valley and across Trewarmett Downs.
The walk climbs up the side of Trebarwith Valley to the tiny Trebarwith Village and descends through fields and onto coastal heath alongside a stream to Backways Cove. In a big winter storm, sea foam collects in the cove and is whipped into foam tornados by the wind. The route then follows the coast path over Denis Point where there are stunning views over Trebarwith Strand and Port Isaac Bay before ending at the Port William pub.
The route descends steeply to the valley floor from Trewarmett with excellent views and climbs the other side valley (also with excellent views) until it reaches Trebarwith Village. From here is a gentle descent through the fields to Backways Cove. From Backways there is a steep ascent of Denis Point followed by an even steeper descent to Trebarwith Strand. From here the route climbs back up Trebarwith Valley to Treknow and Trewarmett.
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.
