Walk - Glebe Cliff, Tintagel

0.2 miles (0.4 km)

Glebe Cliff Car Park - PL34 0DW Glebe Cliff Car Park

Easy - A short and generally flat clifftop route suitable for wheelchair users and pushchairs. There is a slight gradient climb on the return journey.

A very short and easy walk that gives the whole family the chance to enjoy the best of wild and romantic Cornwall. In autumn look out for the unusual cliff-nesting house martins gathering ready for their journey south, and maybe a merlin or a peregrine looking for prey among them.

Route Description

The small car park at the start of the walk is close to the medieval cliff top church of St. Materianas. Its ancient graveyard hedge, built in the "cursyway" style, is encrusted with beautiful lichens.

The path takes you through a mix of coastal scrub and grassland. Plants and shrubs include gorse, bell heather, sea pink, kidney vetch, foxglove, toadflax, spring squill and sea campion. Look out for resident stonechats, kestrels and rock pipits, and, in summer, visiting breeding whitethroats. The occasional peregrine falcon is sometimes seen as are migrating wheatear in the spring and autumn months.

This walk also affords cliff top views of the sea and of the island of Tintagel Castle (said to be linked to King Arthur).

Near the car park there is an interpretation board, with information on the historical remains of local slate quarries, and a picnic bench. Both are wheelchair friendly.
