Keveral Farm Camping nearly always has space for hikers and cyclists.

Keveral Farm Camping is situated 15 miles west of Plymouth and 4 miles east of Looe, and is 15 minutes walk through the woods from Seaton and the coast path.

Walking and Cycling from Plymouth
Hikers:
Take the Cremyl Ferry to Mt. Edgcumbe (2025: adults 3 UKP, children 2 UKP, bikes 1.50 UKP).

Between Downderry and Seaton, walk along the beach - it is nearly always possible.
There are paths down from the centre of the village.
This is much nicer than walking along the road.

Cyclists:
Cross the River Tamar on the Torpoint Ferry (free), and take the A374 from Torpoint to Antony, then go left to reach the coast road, passing through Crafthole and Downderry before reaching Seaton.

Or take the Cremyll Ferry - but you have to lift your bike onto the boat, and it costs 4.50 UKP.
The first few miles will be on quieter and more scenic roads compared to the Torpoint Ferry option.

Do NOT cycle along the A38 from Plymouth.

Walking and Cycling from Seaton to Keveral
Walk up through the woods from Seaton.
Do NOT walk up Looe Hill (which starts by the bridge in Seaton) - it's much further than going through the woods.

Walking up through the woods may also the best option if you are cycling, unless your bike is heavy, as you will need to push it up the track.
Cycling up Looe Hill is longer and still quite steep, so you may still have to push your bike.

Walking to Keveral from the West (Looe direction):
Take the coast path from Looe by taking the path above Looe beach.

After about 15 minutes, the path goes through the residential area of Plaidy, then Millendreath, then up to Bodigga / Bay View Camping, which is approx 2 miles from Keveral.

From here you have two options - the short route via quiet roads, and the longer scenic route via the coast path.

1. The shortest route to Keveral (approx 45 minutes) is along quiet roads (but you will miss a scenic part of the coast path).
Stay on the road (by Bay View Camping), walk straight on past the Monkey Sanctuary (do not take the left turn at the junction), continue for another 15 minutes, and at the next junction go left (straight on goes down to Seaton), passing Penhale camping on your right.
After another 100m, you will see the start of the Keveral Farm lane on your right. Follow this for half a mile.
The Keveral farmhouse is the 2nd house at the end of the lane.

2. The longer but scenic route to Keveral (approx 1.5 hours of walking) is via the coast path to Seaton.
About 50m after Bay View Camping, the coast path goes off to the right.
The coast path later joins a quiet road just before Seaton.
From Seaton, you take the bridleway through the woods to Keveral (about 15 minutes).
Walk up through the woods from Seaton.

Cycling to Keveral from the West (Looe direction):
We advise avoiding the main road from Looe, which is busy, hilly, bendy, narrow, and no verge or pavement !

We advise going via Millendreath, then the coast path to Bodigga / Bayview Farm, then quiet roads.

From Looe, get to Barbican Road, either by taking Shutta Road (opposite the train station), or Tower Hill then Barbican Hill from central Looe.
Cycle North to meet the main road by St. Martin's church.
Cycle along here for about 200m (there is a pavement you can cycle along).
Take a right to take you to Millendreath.
Push your bike up the bridleway to Bodigga / Bay View Farm. [2025 - there are a couple of big steps on this path which may make it difficult for heavy bikes. An alternative route is a very small road from Millendreath up to Bucklawren Farm].
Cycle straight on past the Monkey Sanctuary (do not take the left turn at the junction), and along a very small and quiet road.
At the next junction, go left, passing Penhale campsite on your right.
After another 100m, you will see the start of the Keveral Farm lane on your right. Follow this for half a mile.
The Keveral farmhouse is the 2nd house at the end of the lane.

But there are also many quiet roads and cycle routes (on-road and off-road), including the 19 mile Camel Trail.
The road between Seaton and Rame Head is a popular cycle route.
