Had a really nice walk around the coast path, beautiful scenery

We visited today and spent 3 hours walking all the way round.

The views: Stunning, what more can I say. We saw so many different angles and just took in the views

The coastal walk: Not for the faint hearted and I had a few wobbles but I carried on and took in the whole experience

The cafe: Delicious food and so clean and tidy. The whole area was amazing. Toilets were clean, seating area fantastic and you can tell it was all really looked after.

Fantastic day spent with my hubby on this beautiful walk.

Nice place for a walk with great views

An amazing walk with lovely views. We came early evening after lots of rain today and managed to dodge the showers! The Orchard garden with the sensory walkways were incredibly. Very well thought out and, as a wheelchair user, I felt very included. The seats at the end of the orchard had amazing views of the beach and sea. A beautiful place for a great walk and, as it was fairly breezy, it certainly blew the cobwebs away! The cafe, seating area and facilities block were very attractive buildings using natural materials of stone and wood. Very impressive area and extremely well maintained. Highly recommend a visit

Beautiful walk up here. Stunning views even on a miserable day of rain and wind. Path from New Polzeath was well kept and easy, we also had our little dog with us which wasn’t an issue.

Had an absolutely fantastic day out walking along the coastal path, there are some mind blowing views to take in. No litter on the trails and nature is just flourishing. We even did some Geocaching along the route to fill our day out and I would highly recommend if you know about them to go find the many that are along this path. If your looking for a pleasant walk or nice day out exploring this is the place, there are plenty of places to rest and it will not disappoint.

On The Rumps is an Iron Age cliff castle dating back to the second century BC. The site was first recorded in 1584 when it was referred to as Pentire Forte, and was excavated by the Cornwall Archaeological Society between 1963 and 1967.[14] Today the fort itself can be identified by the three ramparts crossing the narrower strip of land linking the Rumps headland to the main part of Pentire Head. It is thought that the various ramparts have different dates and may have exploited existing features in their construction,[15] while excavation indicates that there were three phases of building and two phases of occupation with hut platforms and domestic debris having been found along with evidence of a pallisade and a timber gate.[14] The castle is listed on the English Heritage at risk register as it is in danger of being lost to erosion. The state of the site was described as declining in 2019

Great walk, quite a few steps to get up/down, so not very accessible... but it's a coastal path, so that's all to be expected. Great views and lots of birds of prey. Add about 50% on to the time stated on the maps to do it though if you have kids with you.
