Parked at watergate bay and followed the coast path down checking out the other island sibs along the way for a possible tomorrow ascent. Lovely little island outcrop. Onto Wetherspoons for the dayThe-Z-Man27/07/2023
Gorgeous sunny January afternoon after supply teaching day in Newquay. A very pleasant walk out to this iron age peninsula fort headland then across sandy Porth Beach for a 1.5 hr walk following the coast through Newquay to Trenance Hill (tump) and and back again to take in the sights. Happy memories looking down at Tolcarne Beach from childhood holidays. My heart went out to the asylum seekers -all men - sitting around the front of a seafront hotel -where they have just been placed temporarily (to the inevitable concern of locals) by the Home Office after a petrol bomb attack at the Dover Centre. They get free board, food, medical care & £8 week, but not allowed to work. Good to see some of them kicking a ball around on the grass. Perhaps they could take on the Peppermints (Newquay FC) at their ground on Trenance summit.Chris Pearson19/01/2023

There's free parking on Porth Beach after 4pm, and a bridge to the island, making for a stress-free and easy visit to this stunning Tump. Great views along the coast, beautiful bunches of thrift in Spring and a prominent summit make this a fab hill. Go get!wheresthepath23/05/2015
