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.

Starting with a bus journey to Port Isaac the route follows the coast path to Trebarwith Strand before turning inland through Treknow to reach the starting point in Trewarmett
