7.4 km along the coast and 4.8 km Inland.
After the last few days in was good to see the sun, although the night had been cold and there was still a cold North East wind at times.
We caught a bus from just outside the campsite entrance, through Tintagel to Tregatta, where we walked along a road, and bridlepath and a small section of the Coastal Path down to Trebarwith Strand and enjoyed a coffee and a croissant overlooking what we thought was a small aby.
Then back on the path and realised that, at low tide at least, is a large bay, popular with dog-walkers and just a few swimmers.. A fairly steep ascent and a good path with spectacular views. We continued and walked down to the entrance to Tintagel Castle, reluctant to pay the £22 (reduced to £19.50 for us as concessions) entrance to see mainly the same scenery as from the path, we continued down to the cove. Busy with tourists and a café, so we stopped for lunch on a bench. Two girls were just leaving and heading for Port Isaac that evening.
So around the headland and we walked up a fairly easy path, past the huge “Crusader Hotel” into Tintagel village where we enjoyed and Ice-cream and bought a few bits from the Spar shop.
So back to the path and continued to a steep down and a sign saying that the path to Bossingney Cove was closed due to unstable cliffs and on to Rocky valley, where it looked as if there was a steep access to the sea.
A steep climb gave us sight of the caravan site but it was still a narrow and steep path until we reached the signpost that told us that we were near where or van, Frodo, was parked.
