The route follows the Coast Path from Sennen Cove to Land's End, using permissive paths where they offer better views. The route continues along permissive paths around the headlands from Land's End to Zawn Reeth before rejoining the Coast Path to Nanjizal. The track to Bosistow Farm provides the gentlest available climb from the coast and the route then follows footpaths across the upper part of the valley and fields to Trevilley. Small lanes and paths across the fields make up the return route to Sennen Cove.
