Continue on the road past some dwellings, Trythance Cottage and Trythance Farm on your right and converted barns on your left.
Eventually you reach the entrance to a quarry, here turn right along an unmade road towards Tregloghan, there is a picnic area on your left. At the end of the lane turn left (opposite the former farm) and find the footpath through a kissing gate. Just before this gate you can get good views of the Manacle rocks that have been the site of many wrecks. At high tide there are just few peaks visible, but when the tide is out, especially during spring tides, the full extent of the dangerous rocks can be seen. Follow the footpath path down to Lowlands, at one point it skirts the side of a quarry spoil tip where it is quite steep. Good views over National Trust land know as Lowlands are obtained here with Little Wrea and Great Wrea showing up prominently at low tide.
When you reach the bottom turn left away from Lowlands and proceed up a rise past the first of the former quarry workings.
The quarry has now closed and the buildings and equipment cleared away. At the top of the hill you can look down on the jetty from which boats used to be loaded with stone. From here start down a wide track to your right but almost immediately take a footpath on the left and pass through the quarry workings keeping strictly to the marked footpath, here you are on part of the Coastal Footpath. Keep to the marked paths until you leave the workings, climbing a steep track from the top of which you can see Godrevy beach on the right. Take the track down to the beach, there are two coves here, Godrevy Cove followed by Leggan Cove, this is a nice place to stop for a snack if you have one with you, and to watch the sea.
When leaving Godrevy beach look for a footpath going inland from about half way along or near the right hand side of the first beach. This leads over a wooden bridge through a kissing gate and into fields, keep strictly to the made up path, following it until you pass through a small copse followed by the hamlet of Rosenithon. Here turn left and follow the winding road back towards St. Keverne. This meets the St. Keverne to Porthoustock road by a house called Manacle View where you can view the sea for the last time on this walk. Turn left here and continue on the main road until you return to the square.
