Log Text: A battered promontory fort with a very visible ditch and bank and beautiful views. One of my favourite places to stop and sit when walking my dog.
Access from the car-parks (Basset Cove or North Cliffs) is very good now that they have paved the it (suitable for prams and wheelchairs) but the path down to the fort is still narrow and prickly (NOT suitable for prams and wheelchairs).

Log Text: Really easy to spot as it's right in front of the church. Obviously, while you're here, visit the Treslothan Holy Well, about 20 metres up the road from the Cross. Shame about the gravel setting but...

Log Text: If you take the first road to the church from the Carwynnen Quoit towards Troon, the Well is just before you reach the monument outside the church. Great parking and very easy to spot. Obviously, visit the Treslothan Cross, outside the church, while you're here.

Log Text: Only room for one car outside the gate, plus a sign warning not to block access to the private gate right next door. Other than that, it's an easy and short walk through a field to the quoit.

Log Text: Not a great position for privacy as it's in the middle of a busy, town centre.
Very easy to find. Head onto Trelowarren Street, Camborne's main, one-way, shopping street (limited on-street parking but there's a large car park very nearby). Near the top end there is a small square with a Bingo hall, benches, etc. Go through the square, following Chapel Street, the road perpendicular to the shopping street. The cross is on the right-hand side in front of one of the first building right after the square, behind some railings. The gate through the railings was bolted but not locked when I visited, so I briefly opened the bolt, took a few quick photos and retreated. If you move further up Chapel Street about 40 metres, you can see Killivose Cross on the left-hand side.
I recommend parking in the Rosewarne car park for an hour, walking back up to Trelowarren Street. It's then pretty easy to visit the Camborne Cross and Killivose Cross, then walking up Trelowarren Street, across the roundabout to the Church of St Martin & St Meriadoc and then visiting Maen Cadoar menhir/Cross and Ia's Cross (not currently on this site).

Log Text: Not a particularly nice position as it's very close to a busy, town centre. Hard to photograph one side as it's quite close to a railing.
Very easy to find. Head onto Trelowarren Street, Camborne's main, one-way, shopping street (limited on-street parking but there's a large car park very nearby). Near the top end there is a small square with a Bingo hall, benches, etc. Go through the square, following Chapel Street, the road perpendicular to the shopping street. The cross is in front of the Methodist chapel, a hundred or so metres on the left-hand side of the street. Earlier on this street, on the right-hand side, is the Camborne Cross.

Here are two of the four...
