Get on the B3263 (from bude to tintagel). Drive into the village at Tintagel and follow it to the hotel Camelot (i think thats what its called). Park there and then walk down the National Trust path along the cliff tops. The path is broken (about halfway along), here it is a dangerous descent down the cliff, but what awaits you at the bottom is awesome. Definatley worth the effort.
