For those that are not
so adventurous try the short walk to Clodgy Point. It is
possible to walk to and from Clodgy Point via the coastal path, but for a pleasant
alternative following a circular route, it may be approached via Burthallan
Lane. Allow up to one and a half hours walking at a
leisurely pace. Start from Barnoon car park above
Porthmeor Beach. With Barnoon car park on your right walk along Clodgy
View. (Clodgy Point is the far
headland). Continue past the shops at Ayr along Ventnor Terrace, Wheal
Ayr Terrace, Alexander Row, and then turn right in Burthallan Lane. This
is marked as a cul-de-sac but do not let this deter you. Continue along
Burthallan Lane, past Tamarisk, until it
peters out into a footpath and follow the path down towards the coast
until it joins the coastal footpath at Clodgy Point. From Clodgy Point you
will see a fine
succession of headlands (see picture above), and a coastal path that
stretches through superb unspoilt coastal scenery all the way to Lands
End. If you are tempted to return and walk further along this beautiful stretch of the coastal
path, remember always to leave a little longer
than you think you are going to need; distances do not look very long on the map, but the coastal
path meanders up and down and in and out along
this indented coastline. To
continue with the circular route, turn
right at Clodgy Point and follow the coastal path back to town via
Carrick Du and Porthmeor Beach.
