So, here you are at Welcombe and immediately you can see what this walk will be like; the footpath only goes one way - upwards! Take the hill slowly, then when you reach the top, look back and admire the view towards Hartland and Lundy. Now you walk down past 'Duncans Hut', a restored lookout, to Marsland Mouth; here is the border between Cornwall and England, and the start of The Cornish Coastal Footpath -Upwards again, then the path levels out (joke) before meandering down Henna Cliff. Look to the left and see the Vicarage built by Rev. Hawker and based on his beloved Oxford's spires. If you wish to detour to the Church, continue climbing Vicarage Cliff then turn left; the graveyard holds many graves of sailors who were drowned after being shipwrecked on the vicious rocks of this coast.

Continue along Vicarage Cliff, and you will find "Hawkers Hut" Made from driftwood (there used to be a lot around!) by Rev. Hawker, he used to sit here and compose poetry while staring out to sea. Down a lot of steps to The Tidna with Higher Sharpnose Point to the right. Go past a disused coastguard station and follow the path until you start to drop down to Stanbury Mouth.
