Number 32 of a complete circular series consisting of 35 individual treasures based on the coastal paths of Perranuthnoe, Rosudgeon, Prussia Cove, Kenneggy & Praa Sands.
The terrain along this route is not Pushchair, Wheelchair or Bicycle friendly but is ideal for the children (accompanied by adults) and 4-legged friends! There will be some climbing involved.
Most of the route is based on the coastal path although there is some walking on the road at various points.
After finding this one, cross the stile and head for number 33. - There is a steep hill leading up to number 33 but the views from up here are well worth the muscle ache!
Once you reach the peak of the hill, turn left and follow the footpath.
The 'We'd like to thank...' Cache is based between number 32 & 33 of this series if you fancy picking up this one aswell. GCGNNT
This area is a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
"This is the best example in Cornwall of a mildly metamorphosed, differentiated tholeiitic intrusive greenstone that retains good relict igneous textures and mineralogy. It is characteristic of relatively large intrusive dolerite-gabbro sills in Cornwall and unique in that it is of tholeiitic composition and not alkaline. It is also internally differentiated and contains rare relicts of primary brown amphibole. The sheared and deformed marginal facies has a chemistry indicative of contact metamorphism by hidden, shallow granite extension from the nearby Godolphin diapir."
