COAST PATH WALK TO CORNBROUGH CLIFFS

SOUTH WEST COAST

CORNBROUGH CLIFFS

PATH WALK TO

Seafield house is at the beginning of the South West coast path to Cornbrough cliffs

This is a perfect walk for all the family. It can be as sedate or energetic as you want to make it, once on the South West Coastpath, you can turn around and come back to the village anytime you want to. 

The beginning part of the track is wheel chair friendly, it gets more challenging as it nears Cornbrough. There are plenty of benches dotted along the route should you want to rest or take in the scenery. 

Entry to the path is past The Pier House heading out of the village, around Seafield House (Spooky House) pictured, where you will find the entrance to the South West Coast Path in front of you.

This is a brilliant photo by Alex from Golden Bay Holiday village, it shows the South West Cost Path really well. You can see how the path follows the cliff edge all the way from the village. It's a spectacular walk due to the position of the path bordering countryside and coast, you will see an abundance of wildlife as you go.

Once you pass Seafield House, the path slightly inclines, the path quality is really good as it's the old railway line. It then bends to the left to follow the cliff, this whole area is beautiful.

If you follow the path for about a mile you come to Cornbrough Cliffs. You can gain access to the beach here easily. It's a pebble and rocky beach where the rock pooling is brilliant. If you walk along the beach please be aware of the tide times. At high water, the sea fills most of the bays and would cut you off. This whole area is safe 3 hours after High Water, through the Low Water to 3 hours to High Water. The main beach safe at any time but watch it if the swell is big.

This is a great little video from Chris Wileman that shows the South West Coastal path starting from Seafield House. It shows how dramatic the area is.
No trip to Westward Ho! is complete without a walk on this path.
