This picturesque route goes across the river by ferry and then follows the South West Coast Path around St Anthony Head, then on to Porthmellin Head, Killigerran Head to Gerrans. The group will then follow a short inland track back to Porth Creek and the beautiful Percuil River where we will follow the creek side paths though woodland back to the ferry landing site at Place for the return ferry to St Mawes Quay.
