A short and rather enchanting loop with easy going and space for reflection.
Rising onto the low coastal cliff west of Trevone Bay, pause to look back. A good view of the Round Hole is offered across Newtrain Bay. At low tide, Newtrain Bay reveals a treasure chest of slate in striking contrast to the sands of both Trevone and Harlyn bays. There are points were access to the rock pools and strange peace of Newtrain Bay is easy.
Rounding St. Cadoc's Point brings into view Harlyn Bay - a crescent of sand set in slate. The route slopes gently to the bay and crosses its eastern corner. Rise on tarmac past St. Cadoc's Cottage and cross fields to return to the village of Trevone.
The start and end of this eight lies at the end of the main road through the village.
PoE16 is a lovely eight with variety both within and between its 2 loops. Refreshments are available at Trevone Bay (seasonal) and at Harlyn Bay, where the Harlyn Inn is open all year.
