A circular walk in the valleys of the streams of Port Gaverne and Port Isaac then on to St Kew.

Highlights

  • Historic fishing village and harbours of Port Isaac and Port Gaverne
  • Views along the Amble Valley
  • Wildflowers along the paths and lanes in spring
  • Pubs on the way around at Pendoggett and St Kew
  • Restaurants, cafés and pubs in Port Isaac at the end of the walk

Considerations

  • Once fence crossing currently has no stile foot-boards.
  • Mud can get deep after prolonged rain due to foot traffic from both walkers and cows.
  • There's a stream crossing at the top of the valley from Port Gaverne which requires navigating improvised stepping stones and may require wading after heavy rain.
