Porthcurno - SW Coast Path to Minack

Please Note:

The route of this Trail follows sections of the South West Coast Path. The terrain can be steep and very uneven in places, with precipitous drops to the sea and steps that can extremely slippery when it has been raining. Appropriate strong, waterproof footwear is essential. The route is hard-walking in parts, so only the bravest, fittest explorers should attempt this one!

We also strongly recommend checking the weather forecast before setting out as it can change very quickly in such an exposed coastal spot! Take weather appropriate clothing with you before setting off as it's a long walk back to the expedition vehicle and there are scant opportunities for shelter along the way.

The quest can be completed with dogs but they should remain on leads for the duration of the Trail.

Seasonal refreshments and toilets are available at the start / end point of the Trail and at a mid-point spot in Porthgwarra.

The Trail also starts and ends outside the fascinating PK Porthcurno Museum of Global Communications which is well worth a visit once you've completed your quest. You will also be encountering the world-famous Minack Theatre, which can be pre-booked for a visit, or even a performance!
