The walk starts by parking in the NT car park at Holywell. £1 in the winter. Walk down to the beach at Holywell and enjoy the beautiful beach. Here you can either return to the little bridge and start the walk over the dunes from the coastal path or continue along the beach and join the coastal path further along the beach.
From the dunes the coastal path passes through a kissing gate and on over the wild cliffs of the rocky headland. There are a few sheep up here but it was the only place where we felt the need to put our dog on a lead, the cliffs being lower and less steep than yesterdays walk.
The headland turns right towards Porth Joke beach (Polly Joke). Continue on the coastal path to cross a small bridge and then on up the other side of the narrow bay. (If you are wanting to shorten the walk turn up this valley to the NT car park on Cubert common).
The coastal path goes up and around the headland with views of Cantock and Newquay. Before the houses a path turns right leaving the coastal path and heading inland to reach cubert common. At the small camping area turn right and continue past the NT car park. Then take the lower path to your right which run along past a small stream. Then up over The Kelseys and onto the dunes once again. The path runs alongside the golf course and back down into the village of Holywell.
