Location
The Story
A priceless Newlyn School painting has been stolen from a local gallery and replaced with a clever forgery. Can you crack the code to find the hidden masterpiece and uncover the truth behind the art of deception? Solve puzzles and riddles, and enjoy the stunning views of the coast.
Considerations
- Close to the end of the route, there are gardens which close at dusk. In the unlikely event that you're ending the walk after dusk, use the backup photo under Help if the gates are closed.
Gradients
There's a short, fairly gentle climb on the road near the beginning. A little later there's a slightly steeper short climb on the road. There's one more short climb on the coast path (with steps). In a churchyard, one of the downhill paths is moderately steep (but surfaced with tarmac).
