I'd always assumed that the Ordnance Survey was wrong about the footpath from Penmaen to West Tor. Over the weekend I saw that some new footbath blazes have been put up, one of them pointed to this "new" footpath. I went for an explore yesterday evening.
It cuts the time to get to West Tor by about 15 mins. It was a beautiful evening.
Great Tor looked nice from the beach.
