The walk starts at West Portholland and follows the coast path to the top of Perbagus Point, overlooking Portholland. The route then continues around Veryan Bay, passing small coves, some of which are accessible from the path and others only by sea. The walk descends from the cliffs to reach the tiny natural harbour of Portloe. The return route is on easier terrain via lanes, tracks and footpaths across the fields to reach Perbargus Point before the final descent via the coast path to return to Portholland.

Highlights

  • Views across Veryan Bay to Dodman Point
  • Unspoilt fishing villages of Portloe and Portholland
  • Sandy beach at Portholland
  • Coastal wildlife including birds and reptiles

Considerations

  • Note that most coastal walks in Cornwall have paths close to unfenced cliffs.
