coast walk : Crackington Haven to Rocky Valley

10.5 miles with plenty of steep climbs along the way for this walk along the North Cornwall coast which includes Boscastle Harbour.

Crackington Haven is popular with tourists, walkers, and geology students. The surrounding cliffs are well known for their visible folded sedimentary rock formations. The village gives its name to the Crackington Formation, a sequence of Carboniferous sandstones and grey shales.

The literal pinnacle of the rocky coastline between the villages of Boscastle and Crackington Haven, aptly-named High Cliff takes the prize for the tallest cliff anywhere along Cornwall's 420 miles of coast.

Rocky Valley & Benoath Cove

Rocky Valley (Cornish: Glynn Duwy, meaning deep valley of the river Duwy) is a small valley in the parish of Tintagel, north Cornwall.

Benoath Cove is a small, sandy beach that's only really there when the tide is low at which time it joins up with neighbouring Bossiney Haven.
