Tean walk summary
The circular walking route around Tean is a wonderful way to explore the history, landscapes and wild flowers that this island has to offer. The walk starts from the landing beach, and simply follows the coastline around with an optional, and highly recommended ascent of Great Hill for superb views over the tiny surrounding islets and islands of the archipelago
Tean walk route description
The circular walk around Tean starts at the landing beach between Crump Island and Clodgie Point and continues clockwise around the island. Follow the sands of East and West Porth, with the remains of a Chapel in between, then continue on the more rugged and free-range route around the west tip. Cross Black Porth beach and continue around the north coast at the base of Great Hill, and then along the foreshore.
