From St. Keverne square take Trelyn lane which runs beside the garage. Follow this out of the village passing the school and playing fields on your left until it turns sharp right, at this point there is a stile into fields. Follow the path across three fields until you cross a stile into a road. Opposite is a long drive down to Trebarveth farm. Beside it there is another stile leading to a footpath take this over several fields following it until you come to a lane at the little hamlet of Trevalsoe. Here there is a farm and a number of attractive cottages including the thatched one pictured above left. Turn right and follow the lane for about 100 yds to where it bears right, here you will find another footpath going straight ahead, follow this over a stream and between bushes to another collection of buildings. This is Boscarnon, where you take a concrete road for about 300 yds, at the point where it bends right you will find yet another footpath over a stile, during the winter the mud here may be impassable as the cows congregate in the gateways however if you can get through follow the path over a number of fields. In places the it is not easy to follow and at one point you must make a left hand turn between high hedges. At the end of this turn right and then bear left to pass through a narrow gap between hedges, bear right after the gap and keep to the path over more fields and stiles. You will now get views over Coverack bay then pass through a tunnel of bushes. Eventually you will come out at the end of a paved road overlooking Coverack bay.
If time or leg power is limited you can skip this paragraph and head straight to the coast path by turning left here, this will save you about a mile or so in length. However a visit to Coverack is well worth while with its beach and picturesque harbour. You can also get refreshments here. To get to the village turn right down the made up lane passing many attractive dwellings on your right and views over the bay to your left. At the end of this lane, called North Corner, you come to the main road with the beach on your left with its high sea wall from which you can look down on the sea. You may see wind surfers and canoeists in the bay and will be able to see the harbour at the far end of the village. St. Peter`s church is visible to the right of the road with its attractive churchyard. Inside the church, which is about 100 years old, you will find some examples of local serpentine work. Explore the village by following the main road to the harbour, along the road you will find a cafe and also just off the road there is a small art gallery. At the end, beyond the harbour is the Paris Hotel named after one of the ships that came to grief along this stretch of coast. To leave Coverack and return to the Coast Path retrace your steps to North Corner and back up the lane to the point where the footpath joined it.
Now take the coastal footpath, which here follows a rough track towards a sewerage works. A few yards from the gates of this turn right onto the path proper and follow it round the coast. It passes through a varied terrain rising and dropping many times until you eventually come down to levels a few feet above the high tide mark. In places you have to use stepping stones to cross streams running down to the sea. Look out for the remains of a 2nd century AD salt works, shown in the picture, perched on the edge. Eventually you come to Lowlands, which is National Trust land, and you pass Great Wrea some way from the shore at Lowlands Point. You have good views here of the Manacles reef and other dangerous rocks which have claimed many ships. When the tide is well out it is possible to find many bits of metal, which are the remains of some of these ships, including a propeller.

Also look out for seals basking on the rocks or swimming in the shallows, keeping an eye on you, with just their snouts showing!

Just before you reach the quarry you will cross a stone stile beside a flag pole. To shorten the walk you can take a path up the side of a spoil heap, on reaching a rough track at a farm turn right to reach a road at the quarry entrance. Turn left and follow the road back to St. Keverne.

If you are still feeling energetic however you can continue along through the quarry workings, taking care to keep to the marked footpath, at one time boats could be seen being loaded at the jetty, however the quarry is now closed and the equipment removed.

On leaving the quarry you will approach Godrevy beach, which is very popular but never overcrowded. To leave the beech find the path which leaves it about half way along near the low cliff. Keep to the path over a number of fields till you come the pretty hamlet of Rosenithon. On reaching the main road turn left and follow the road back to St. Keverne.
