Overview

From the carpark we will walk north-east to the Men-an-Tol and then to the Greenburrow Engine House, Nine Maidens stone circle and Bosporthennis. We'll continue to Porthmeor Cove and follow the coast path to Bosigran. Turning inland again we will climb Watchcroft, the highest point in West Penwith, before dropping back down to the cars.
