Starting at the North cliff Plantation car park and walking down on the main path through the country park. Tehidy woods are quite lovely, good bluebells in the spring I was told by a local. Keep left if you want to keep on the woodland trails or go down to the Rose garden before continuing alongside the golf course until you reach Eastern gate. Cross the road here and continue on the Miners trail. Turn right at the houses and then left and left again to enjoy the lovely trail through Illogan woods. This is a lovely area that used to be mines. Finally you come out onto a row of small miners cottages and turn left to reach Portreath beach.
Beach is lovely and makes a great spot for a picnic.
Now turn left to reach the coastal path. This goes up through a row of houses and follows the bay to ascend the cliff after the houses. You can either turn right to enjoy the headland (Western Hill), or straight on to the top of the cliffs. Now continue towards North Cliffs and Godvery. There are two large dips in the cliffs along this route on Carvannel Downs. When you reach the NT car park turn left up the track to the road and turn right onto the road to reach the car park at Tehidy woods about 50m further up.
We were walking in January and saw lots of beautiful fields of Daffodils.
