Turn left on leaving the car park and walk down to Gorran Haven harbour. Just before you come to the access onto the beach, turn right to walk up Foxhole Lane, then go up some steps, signposted ‘Hemmick via Dodman’. Walk up some more steps, passing the Coast Path Café. Now follow the coast path ahead, past a sign for the National Trust property of Lamledra.

Keep to the main coast path, which goes down a flight of stone steps just beneath a rocky outcrop. At a junction marked by a coast path sign, bear right uphill, going straight ahead and through a kissing gate (the left-hand track leads down to Vault Beach from where you can come back to the coastal path again by another track that leads uphill). Where the path begins to level out, fork left and go through a gap in the hedge.

Go through a pair of gates and follow a path through scrubland. Keep ahead at a kissing gate by a junction signed ‘Dodman Point’ then eventually go through another kissing gate onto open ground. Continue on this footpath to the summit of Dodman Point.

Just before the large granite cross on the summit of the Dodman, two paths branch off right. The first leads to the Watch House. After visiting the cross take the second of these paths and continue along the coast path.

Turn right off the coast path through a gate signposted ‘Penare’ and then follow the path between the high banks of the Bulwark.

Keep ahead where a path comes in from the right, bear left and follow the hedged track to reach a gate and a surfaced lane at Penare. Turn right along the lane.

At a junction leave the road and go through a field gate signposted ‘Treveague’. Follow the path across the fields and through the Treveague Farm Campsite. At the campsite gates turn right, signposted ‘Gorran Haven’. Go left at another signpost and go along a drive behind a house, bearing right. Drop steadily down a path through scrub.

Cross a muddy area by some stepping stones, then go through a kissing gate. After a gate, follow the driveway to a T-junction with the road. Turn right and walk down, with care as there can be traffic, to Gorran Haven car park.
