- Dog Notes:
This walk is excellent for dogs who are used to coastal paths. However, due to the extremely high cliffs, steep drops, and sheer cliffs at Bedruthan Steps and along the coastline, it is absolutely essential to keep your dog on a lead for the entire coastal section. The inland part of the walk offers some opportunities for well-behaved dogs with good recall to enjoy off-lead time (be aware of livestock in fields). The walk involves a lot of ascents and descents, so ensure your dog is fit and bring plenty of water.
