Description
This is a variation of Lootor two, taking a better route around Torpoint and avoiding Tregantle Fort (so that this route is available even when firing is taking place in the danger area). I took the opportunity also to make a slight variation around St John so that the route passes directly by the pub

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.

24 Aug 2023I thought this an excellent walk combining some cross country walking with a good stretch of the Coastal Way.

30 Oct 2022I walked the changed section between Torpoint and Portwrinkle. The route into and out of Torpoint itself is great. The section from St John to Portwrinkle also works well, being along very quiet lanes or footpaths by the side of the road. This route is open at all times as opposed to the main coast path, which is sometimes closed for firing at Tregantle Fort.
The only difficult section is along the B3247 at the end of Sunwell Lane - this is a short section along a relatively busy road and so some caution is needed. There is a footpath across a field which may avoid the worst of it which may be worth investigating to improve the route further.
