A really nice walk for all the family
For this walk, you need OS Landranger 201, Plymouth &
Launceston area
This is an easy, nearly level walk. It
provides extensive views of Plymouth and The Sound and The South
Hams. Mt Edgecumbe and its grounds is a Country Park and is worth
visiting on its own account. The walk passes through Kingsand
& Cawsand, two lovely quiet villages (full of 2nd Home Owners),
and has beautiful views of Rame Head and its chapel.
Park the first car at Rame Head: OS SX420 488
What 3 Words: crops.racetrack.handbook
N 50°19'3.09" W 4°13'10.04"
To get there from the A38 Plymouth to Liskeard: Take the
A374 at Trerulefoot roundabout, and head towards Torpoint. Drive
through Polbathic, then a few miles later, there's a hotel on
the right; shortly after, a sign showing a bend, but with
a road indicated on the apex. Take this road (the B3247) to the
right, indicated to CRAFTHOLE and
continue on, to the junction with the main road in the village:
Turn left.
Follow this road for several miles; you will then see a wide
viewing area on the left, and the wonderful TREGANTLE
FORT on the right. The road then bends left with a
parking area on the left. Turn right, signposted FREATHY
and just keep going. This is one of my favourite roads, the clusters
of chalets clinging to the cliff with Rame Head behind is just
magic. When you get to a T junction, turn right and follow to
the end (mind, it's narrow!) when you will see the car park
Park the second car at Cremyll car park: OS SX453 533
What 3 Words: link.truly.tolls
N 50°21'33.58" W 4°10'36.43"
Back along the road, ignoring the road to the left that you
came in on and turn right at the T junction. Follow this road
for a short while, but keep a careful eye on the left for a group
of houses as you go downhill.....there's a road here that you
need to take, and it's easily missed! When you find it, be wary;
it's steep and narrow. At the end of this road, turn right and
follow until Cremyll, and the Pay & Display is on the left
as you get to the outskirts of the village.
