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.

Starts at

Millpool car park, West Looe, walking south along the Hannafore road

Parking

Millpool pay-and-display in West Looe; alternatively the small National Trust car park at Hendersick shortens the walk but holds only a handful of cars

Directions to the start →

Nearly seven miles out along the Hannafore front and the National Trust cliffs to Talland Bay, then back by lane and field, about three and a half hours with 300 metres of climbing. It begins at the Millpool car park in West Looe; walkers arriving by train can start at Looe station instead, which makes the whole thing car-free. Just one stile leaving Kilminorth Woods and a gap in the fence beside it that dogs use, Talland Bay allows dogs all year, and Looe Island sits offshore all the way round; the cliffs past Hendersick are unfenced and the coast path is narrow above Portnadler Bay.
