Considerations

The route includes a 400 yard section of lane back to Mylor Bridge where passing vehicles are likely. The lane is relatively wide and there are also narrow verges along most of it.
The path across the top of the creek can flood on very high spring tides so check tide times and heights when planning the walk.
The tracks around Pencoose Farm can get very muddy after prolonged rain. This can be deeper than a walking boot so wellies are advisable.

Dogs

One of the fields on the route is regularly used for grazing cattle. One stile consists of steps either side of a wire fence to step over. Dogs would need to be lifted over this unless the gate alongside is open. Two stone stiles should be navigable by most dogs. There is a wooden stile at Enys that dogs with a very large girth may not be able to squeeze through - it has a gate alongside but this is sometimes chained shut.

The walk is available through the iWalk Cornwall app for Apple and Android for £3.29 which each include everything listed here.

This removes worries about getting lost by tracking you using GPS, reminding you when you need to follow the next direction and warning you if you wander off the route.
