Reaching from Harlyn Bay to Tregirls farm this eight includes sight of a round hole, a chimney like daymark and several sandy coves.
The Round Hole appears on the surface of Roundhole Point. It is a round hole of some 30 feet in circumference that falls to sea level. A tunnel connecting it to the ocean can be seen from the landward side.
Loop a falls and rises towards Stepper Point at the mouth of the River Camel. It is marked by a chimney like structure that can be seen from many nautical miles. In reaching the daymark strangely shaped offshore rocks are passed.
PoE14b is a short loop with a rather ethereal quality to its coastal section. The cliff is low. When the tide is out acres of low lying slate are revealed, leaving rock pools that attract avian and human life. The path has fallen and been diverted at one point.
Then Harlyn Bay emerges - a vast cove of sand. And the route takes to the road and fields to regain its start point.
