Pentire headland walk 7.2km via Rump Point, Pentire Point and Pentireglaze Haven!

Yesterday we had an amazing 7.2km walk along the National Trust site known as Pentire Headland. It’s in Wadebridge and is different to the Pentire headland in Newquay! It’s by Pentireglaze and Polzeath Beach.

If you’re looking for a walk in Cornwall with amazing views then I recommend the route we took. Our kids were in tow too! Some of the paths are right near the edge with sheer drops down to the sea, so be careful with very young kids!

We took a slightly longer route than the recommended walk on the National Trust map at Lead Mines. We parked in the Lead Mines car park.

See the route we took in purple here:

I’ve marked the walk we did in purple. Taking this route allowed us to see The Rumps, Pentire Point and finish up at Pentireglaze Haven, a lovely quieter beach next to Polzeath. We then walked back along the farmers fields to the Lead Mines car park. Read on to see our photos and what we saw along the way! We took our six year old and nine year old on this 7.2km route and it was probably just enough for them!

Muddy tracks to The Rumps Cornwall
Very muddy! Wear appropriate footwear or trainers you don’t mind getting muddy! I prefer rubber sole Blowfish pumps as I like to feel the ground. I wash mine almost weekly! I can’t get on with walking boots as they’re too stiff and inflexible. However, I’ve found some Xero barefoot vegan waterproof boots online that look ideal for me so I may treat myself!

Seal spotting location Cornwall
Me and Reuben stopped about here and watched the seals. There were lots of seals in the water near The Rumps. I’m sure I saw a porpoise! I was using the kids binoculars, so I really need to get my own with larger eye pieces. I thought it was a dolphin, but looked more like a seal, and since getting home and looking up a porpoise, I’m sure that’s what I saw!
