Description
This is a challenging but fabulous route between Fowey and Looe. Mostly following the South West Coast Path, it's a well used trail with stunning views and delightful beaches.
It is a hard route with 800 metres or more of ascent, and even more if you go down to some of the beaches below the path. For context, Scafell Pike (England's highest peak) is 978m.
Polperro is a delightful Cornish fishing village that has lots of places to eat, drink and stay. There are accommodation and refreshment options at Talland and Polruan, and even more at the both ends of the route.
You will need to catch a ferry between Fowey and Polruan.
This route is very similar to Fowloo One, but removes some walking through overgrown fields and is more accurate in places.
A highly recommended route if you don't mind lots of steep ascent!

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.
