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.
Four and a half miles over the highest cliff in Cornwall, about two and three quarter hours, with 330 metres of climbing and a long grassy traverse above The Strangles that feels a great deal more remote than its length suggests. It starts from the small car park behind the beach at Crackington Haven, which is the only realistic parking and is full by mid-morning in August; the pub and cafe are at the start. Most dogs manage or bypass the stiles, but the Cambeak ridge is narrow with a drop on both sides and the coast path along High Cliff runs unfenced above a 200-metre slope, so this is a lead walk for anything that chases gulls.
One short email when we add places or a council changes its beach rules. No noise, easy out.
