Boscastle to Crackington Haven Walk
This walk follows a section of the South West Coast Path from Boscastle to Crackington Haven Walk, on the Cornish coast. It's a splendid elevated section with spectacular sheer cliffs and tremendous views from the high point on Cornwall's coast.
The route runs for a distance of just over 6 miles along an undulating cliff top path.
Starting in Boscastle from the pretty harbour you head north to the interesting rock formations at Penally Point. You continue to Pentargon and Beeny Cliff before coming to the highest point on the Cornish coastline at High Cliff. There's some excellent views from this elevated spot.
The route continues to the wonderful headland at Cambeak before descending into Crackington Haven. It's a popular spot with a lovely beach and a fine sea front pub. There's also the option of visiting the historic Norman church at the little hamlet of St Gennys.
To continue your walking in the area head south on the Boscastle to Tintagel Walk to visit the splendid coastal castle of Tintagel.

Boscastle: slaty Penally Point. Much of the surface of Penally Point comprises these flat, but off-level, slabs of slate, making the walk both easy and precarious at the same time. The rock in the sea is Meachard.

The View from High Cliff. At around 230 metres in height, the summit of High Cliff offers spectacular views. This view looks north towards the Cambeak promontory. The prosaically named High Cliff is the highest point on the Cornish coastline.
