Trewince Lodges to Porthscatho via Rosteague

1. Leave reception and go to road junction, where you turn right along the road until passing Froe. After passing the house and reaching a wood on your right, enter the wood through a gap in the wall and take the left fork following National Trust signs, do not go over the footbridge.

2. Follow the path, passing National Trust Car Park and their properties at Porth Farm. On reaching the main road turn left and take the track that is on your right sloping gentle upwards.

3. At the sharp left turn continue straight going over a stile and between paddocks, good view of Trewince Lodges to your left. After the paddocks go through the gate and onto a tarmac road that passes through the buildings of the Rosteague Estate. Continue through the estate until reaching a footpath sign on your right just after Treloan Caravan Site

4. Turn onto this path between high hedges. At the far side go through a gate and then diagonally left across the field toward the corner of a hedge. Here the path forks, take the left fork to go to Porthscatho or right fork to go to coastal path.

Option 1 – to Porthscatho

5a.       Continue across the field until reaching the far corner, here turn left and go down a series of steep and uneven steps to reach the road above a slipway. From here turn left and make your way into the pretty village of Porthcatho. Return to the slipway then along the road to the end passing between houses onto the coastal path.

Option 2 – to Coastal path

5b.       Take the path running against the hedge, at the end of the field pass into the next field, with hedge now on your left. Continue along this field until reaching the coastal path, where you need to turn right.

6. Go along the coastal path ensuring you keep looking at the views behind across Gerrans Bay. The area surrounding this first section of path is a mass of wild flowers in spring and summer. On reaching Towan Beach take the deeply cut and signed path to the right, go through the buildings and cross the road.

7. Cross the main road and pass the overflow car park where a small path can be seen that parallels the road. Just after the footbridge go over the wall and left at the road.

Follow the road uphill back to Trewince Holiday Lodges.
