The Cliffs: The coastal section of this walk features incredibly sheer, high, and unfenced drops. It is absolutely critical to keep your dog on a lead while on the coast path.

The Beaches: Crackington Haven beach has a strict seasonal dog ban (typically from Easter/mid-May to the end of September). The Strangles is generally dog-friendly year-round, but accessing it requires a major, steep detour down the cliff that isn't included on this main loop.
