The run begins where the sea throws itself against stone: gull cry, wind tugging your cap, and the cliff-edge path narrowing to singletrack that dares you to pick up the pace. Your guide leads a small group along worn footpaths, past heathered slopes and through pockets of ancient oak, pausing to point out an old smuggler's ledge or the profile of a ruined quarry against the skyline.

History
The coast reflects centuries of small-scale fishing, quarrying and smuggling; field walls and chapel ruins mark an economy once tied tightly to the sea and stone.
Conservation
Much of the coastline falls within protected designations; stick to marked paths to limit erosion, avoid nesting seabird colonies in season and carry out all waste.
