This off road loop around St Minver offers a challenging coastal trail run with around 375 metres of climbing. It follows a section of the South West Coast Path between Port Quin and Port Isaac, where steep climbs and descents provide a demanding but rewarding run. Underfoot, expect a mix of rocky paths, grassy sections and uneven ground, with some exposed stretches close to the coastline.
