Dog-friendly walks in Charlestown

Charlestown to Porthpean

Just under three miles of coast path between a Georgian china clay port and a small sandy bay, about an hour and three quarters at a moderate grade with two short steep pulls out of the coves. Park at Charlestown, where the pay-and-display sits behind the harbour and the tall ships, and return by the field path above Duporth. There are no remaining stiles on the route, which suits any size of dog, but the cliff path is unfenced for most of the way and the beach picture is unusually strict here: Charlestown and Duporth ban dogs all year and Porthpean is closed in the peak weeks.
