This is a spectacular walk in the far south west of Cornwall, taking in the famous Lands End, the most south-westerly point of mainland Britain. The walk begins at Cape Cornwall and then follows the coast south soon coming to wonderful Whitesand Bay and Sennen Cove, at it's southern end. From here it's a short distance to Lands End and onwards to beautiful Nanjizal. Continuing round the coast we pass Porth Loe, Porthgwarra and Porth Chapel to finish at Porthcurno, home of the Minack Theatre and the first trans-atlantic telephone cables.

This walk begins from the attractive town of Penzance in the far south west of Cornwall.

Rounding Cudden point we continue to the second sandy beach, Praa Sands and on around Trewavas Head to the attractive town of Porthleven. |

This is a walk of two halves. The first part is a fairly gentle walk past the sheltered beaches of Par and St. Austell, including pretty Charlestown. Once we leave St Austell behind the walk becomes much tougher, taking the National Trust owned Black Head and the village of Pentewan, with many climbs to cliff tops and descents back to sea level on the way. The walk ends in the pretty fishing village of Mevagissey.

This walk begins in Par a town known for it's heavy industry but soon we head out over Par Sands and around the eastern edge of the sheltered St Austell Bay to the pretty village of Polkerris and on to Gribbin Head.

This walk is one of the most beautiful on the whole coast path, taking in some stunning scenery but it is also one of the toughest section, especially between Polruan and Polperro. However the rewards are worth the effort with some stunning views and near deserted sandy beaches. Polperro is also a real treat and not to be missed. If the walk is too long it can easily be split at Polperro. |

The first part of the walk takes in the rocky and wooded cliff tops to the east of Rame Head including the pretty villages of Kingsand and Cawsand. Once round Rame Head the walk follows the beautiful Whitsands Bay, a lovely bay with sandy beaches backed by gorse covered cliffs. Note that this walk goes through a military firing range (there is a diversion when the range is in use) and there is some road walking at Whitsand Bay. |
