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

Willow Park car park at the top of Mevagissey, walking down to the harbour

Parking

Willow Park pay-and-display above Mevagissey is the large one and the only sensible choice; the harbour car park is small and the village lanes are barely car width

Directions to the start →

Three and a half miles over Polkirt Hill to the next cove and back through a wooded valley, two hours with 170 metres of climbing and the whole of Mevagissey harbour laid out behind you on the way up. Start at the Willow Park or harbour car parks at the top of Mevagissey, since the inner village is not driveable, and the walk returns through West Bodrugan Woods nature reserve. Dogs will need lifting over a couple of the stiles, the coast path above Chapel Point has an unfenced edge, and Portmellon’s little beach is closed to dogs in the peak weeks.

THE SMALL PRINTPortmellon Cove bans dogs 10am to 6pm from 1 July to 31 August under the Cornwall Council order. Dogs are likely to need lifting over a couple of stiles on the inland return.
