turn right on the Gorran Haven road. About a mile before Gorran
Churchtown, turn right onto the road to Caerhays. Follow the road
through the hamlet of Rescassa. At the next junction turn right
and follow the road to Caerhays Castle and Porthluney Cove. Continue
on this road past Porthluney and then turn left and follow the road
down to Portholland
