TheCaptain visited on 14th Jun 2023 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 3 A day walking and exploring the coast between Porthcurno and Gwennap Head. Park at Porthcurno, and initially head inland then up onto the fields to pass Rospletha cross. It’s a nice thing, but rather overgrown at the moment.
