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!
