The walk starts at Lansallos NT car park and passes the church before following the woodland path along Reed Water through the wooded valley of West Coombe to meet the coast path above Lansallos Cove. The route follows the coast path past Parson's Cove to just before the Udder Rock Obelisk, then turns up East Coombe. From the top of the valley, the lane into Lansallos completes the circular route.
