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. Inland sections offer a brief change of pace before the route returns to the coast, where expansive sea views and rugged headlands dominate the landscape. Despite its relatively short distance, the repeated climbs and technical terrain make this a testing route that packs plenty of variety into every kilometre.
