1. From the car park , follow the tarmacked track signposted "Woodland Walks" departing from beside the information hut. Continue through the gate beside the cattle grid and onwards until you reach a junction of surfaced paths.
2. At the crossing of paths, turn left and follow the path until you reach another surfaced path departing to the right, just before the path ends in a gate.
3. Bear right and follow the path downhill to reach a gate across the path just before the beach.
4. Go through the gate and follow the path to reach a gate marked "Woodland Walk"

6. After the ferry sign, keep left on the path marked "Woodland Walk" and follow the path down the steps to the road.
7. Cross the road to the section of wooden fence opposite and follow the path up the steps. Continue for just over half a mile until you reach a fork in the path with Roundwood Fort and Quay to the right and Trelissick to the left.

Where the path forks, stay on the main path and keep following it through the ramparts to the centre of the fort to reach a junction of paths beside a large tree with a holly bush at the bottom and various carvings int he trunk to the left of the holly bush.
