This walk is based on the Marsland Mouth to Hawker's Hut, Morwenstow section of the Cornwall Coast Path and is intended for walkers who want to enjoy this section of the path and make it a circular walk.
Park at Morwenstow near the Parish Church then follow the public footpath which starts near the entrance to the church yard. Walking through the trees cross the foot bridge and proceed in a northerly direction. (You can visit St Morwenna's Church and St John's Well which are very near the start of the path. )
Continue following the footpath as it crosses a field and then to the right to reach Westcott Farm. When the footpath divides, take the path north and head towards Cornakey Farm. Continue following the public footpath as it follows the edge of two fields before diagonally crossing a field to head for Marsland Manor.
At the Manor, take the minor road to the left and head north. After a very short distance the minor road turns sharp right, ignore this and instead carry straight on into the lane to the north.
As you enter the wooded area there will be a building on your right. Turn left and head towards the sea. You are now in the Marsland Nature Reserve.
Follow the path to the coast. To return to your parking place at Morwenstow bear left from the Marsland Reserve path and head along the footpath down the coast. After visiting Hawker's Hut retrace your steps for a short distance and then head inland following the footpath to the Parish Church of St Morwenna.
