Porthcurno
to Lamorna
The car park at Porthcurno is on the left-hand side,
and you'll probably miss it! Do not try and drive into the exit,
though; it has angled plates that will make a mess of your tyres!
The path out is to the left of the exit, roughly halfway
along the side of the car park. Follow along, and then follow
the Coastal Footpath signs. You will now have a hefty climb up
the cliff, but on the plus side, there are nice views over to
The Minack; although, unfortunately, you can't see it that clearly.

Out on the point in front of you is the Logan Rock, then
a flattish walk before you drop down to the little cove of Penberth.
After a while you will come to the small valley of Porthguarnon...
A steep climb down, and a steeper climb out! Very slow going
indeed.

Soon you come to the hidden valley at St Loy. This area was
a joy to walk through: It's so sheltered here, very lush; when
you look back from the rocks at Boscawen Point, it's like looking
at a scene from Lord of The Rings! Next you'll see houses dotted
around as you come to the old lighthouse at Tater-du; then the
path gets extremely rocky, with large boulders dotted around.
It's very difficult to keep an easy route, but suddenly, you're
back in the car park, there's the car, and now you can relax!
