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

Porthcurno beach car park, below the Telegraph Museum

Parking

Pay-and-display at Porthcurno, moderate size and tied to Minack Theatre performances, so it can be full at odd hours; the small car park at Treen shortens the walk

Directions to the start →

Three miles east from Porthcurno over the Treen Cliff to a working fishing cove, two hours with 170 metres of climbing and the turquoise water of Pedn Vounder below you most of the way. Start at the Porthcurno beach car park, which also serves the Minack Theatre and empties and fills with performances; the Treen car park is an alternative halfway along. Most stiles are fine although two stone ones have a bar at the top that some dogs need help over, there are horses and other livestock grazing the clifftop, and the drop off the Treen Cliff path is severe and unfenced.

THE SMALL PRINTPenberth Cove bans dogs all year on the slipway and fish-landing area. Porthcurno beach bans dogs 10am to 6pm from 1 July to 31 August under the Cornwall Council order. Two stone stiles have a bar at the top that some dogs need help over.
