Leave St. Keverne village by the lane which leaves the square past the garage, Trelyn Lane. Follow this road beyond the houses passing the playing field on your left until you come to a sharp right hand bend. At this bend a stile, beside a field gate, leads to a footpath which skirts two fields with the hedge on your left. After the second field cross a stile and bear slightly right across the third field to a stile which takes you out onto a road. Cross this road and to the right of the lane to Trebarveth Farm take a stile and proceed diagonally across the field to where another stile gives onto a short footpath between a wire fence and a traditional Cornish hedge. At the end of this path cross into a field, and keeping the hedge on your left follow the path to a further stile which gives onto a large field. Aim for where a hedge in front of you and coming from the left make a sharp turn away from you. At this point you should see the next stile slightly to your left near a farm gate. Good views of St. Keverne can be had from this stile. Now cross the field beyond that stile and as you come towards the next gateway, approaching the hamlet of Trevalsoe look for a stile on your left, if you can't see it pass through the gateway and turn left immediately. Here there is a very high stile with steps set into the hedge, a post at the top will steady you. In front of you aim for the next farm gate which has another high stile beside it. Sea views can be enjoyed on your right. Cross the stile and then keep the hedge to your right to find a third high stile beside a gate. Over this you will probably clearly see where the farmer has created a wooden style on the far side of a farm track, take care that you duck under or step over the electric fence that may border this track. Over the stile look for another gap in the hedge opposite and cross it and the following field. These two fields contain a number of large boulders, some of which may resemble slumbering, prehistoric creatures. Now follow the path along the field edge with the hedge close on your left passing a gate into a farm yard and a dung pit. This is Trevean farm, a narrow lane leads out of the farm yard accessed by two stiles opposite each other. It can get very muddy here as the cows congregate near the stiles. Now swing slightly left round a hedge but do not go through the gate, instead turn right and keep the hedge on your left again, you should eventually come to the last stile which gives into a field with a barn at the far side of it. Again keep the hedge to your left and skirt round the barn, you will find a field gate opening onto a small area beside Treglohan farm, which is now holiday accommodation.

Turn right here then left round the white cottage and come to a straight track to your left which you follow until you get to the old quarry entrance, passing a picnic area on your right.

At the end of the track, by the quarry gates turn left onto a metalled road passing Trythance Farm to your left and a complex of development in the former farm buildings on your right. As you come up to the wide right hand bend in the road you will get wonderful views across Falmouth bay. Continue on this road, which winds around a bit, until at the bottom of a hill there is a cross roads. A slight short cut can be made across one field by taking the footpath over the stile where the road takes a left hand bend. My picture shows a view from near the stile. If you wish to get some refreshment, at the cross roads, turn right and enjoy an ice cream at Roskillys café a few hundred yards on your left. To return to St. Keverne keep straight on at the cross roads up a hill, eventually reaching the playing fields and a build up area. At the end of the road, opposite the tobacconist shop turn left to return to the square.
