Our drawing of the route, over road and path data from OpenStreetMap. It shows where the walk goes and what it goes through. It is not a survey and not a navigation aid — carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.
Five and three quarter miles north from Coverack over the raised beach at Lowland Point and back through St Keverne, three hours with 210 metres of climbing on some of the strangest geology in Britain. Park in the car park above Coverack, since the harbour road is narrow and tidal in a gale, and expect the Manacles reef offshore for most of the outward leg. Most stiles are manageable and Coverack and Godrevy Cove take dogs all year, but ponies graze near Lowland Point, one stile by Dean Quarry is best bypassed along the beach top, and a very large dog will need help at the Godrevy footbridge.
Archies Loft is a place to eat on The Cove, Coverack. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.
Bay Hotel is a place to stay on North Corner, Coverack. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.
Shingle and sand either side of a working fishing harbour on the Lizard's sheltered east coast. Coverack is not among the beaches covered by Cornwall Council's dogs-on-beaches order, so there is no seasonal closure here at all. The clifftop path south towards Lowland Point is easy going by Lizard standards.
