Trebyla Farm

South West Coast Path (Section 12: Crackington Haven to Tintagel)

National Trails

Tackles dramatic clifftop terrain with steep, sustained ascents and descents through wild Cornish coastline – this is challenging walking not suitable for buggies or young children. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock and cliff edges. Rewards effort with stunning views of rugged headlands, hidden coves, and the legendary castle ruins at Tintagel, plus geological marvels like folded rock formations at Millook Haven. Proper hiking boots essential for uneven, sometimes muddy coastal paths.

Boscastle Harbour walk, North Cornwall

National Trust

Loops around Boscastle's dramatic natural harbour with moderate inclines on coastal paths and stone steps. Families with older children (5+) will manage fine, but steep sections and uneven surfaces make it unsuitable for buggies or toddlers. Dogs welcome on leads. Stunning views of the harbour entrance's narrow cleft in the cliffs, historic quayside, and rugged North Cornwall coastline make this a must-do despite the short distance.

Boscastle and the Valency Valley walk, North Cornwall

National Trust

Follows the enchanting Valency Valley inland from historic Boscastle harbour through ancient woodland alongside a babbling stream. Gentle gradients with some uneven, potentially muddy sections and stone steps – manageable for older children (8+) but not buggy-friendly. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. The route showcases dramatic coastal scenery, Thomas Hardy connections, and the National Trust's post-2004 flood restoration work, making it one of Cornwall's most romantic valley walks.
