Gunwalloe Coves
Immerse yourself in the gorgeous Cornish coastline with this moderate 8-mile circular walk. Starting in our field and finishing at Halzephron Inn, you'll embark on a journey that passes by locations that have inspired both history and fiction.
Throughout this walk, you’ll discover locally acclaimed spots such as Dollar Cove, famed for its occasional findings of silver dollar coins from a 17th-century shipwreck. For a moment of serenity, venture up to the top of Halzephron Cliffs, where you’ll be graced with breathtaking views of Mount’s Bay, and on a clear day, you’ll see mainland Britain’s most southern spot: Lizard Point.
After a wholesome walk, treat the family to a meal at the Halzephron Inn, and try their range of local ales, extensive malt whiskey collection, or soft drinks. It’s easy to see why this is one of our favourite walks in Cornwall.
Porthleven to Loe Bar
This easy 1.5-mile route starts in the iconic fishing village of Porthleven, one of the jewels of the Lizard Peninsula. This walk features undisturbed views of the sea, as the path out of Porthleven hugs the coastline. Lucky walkers may even see a grey seal bobbing along in the sea.
Stroll at your own pace towards the halfway point: Methleigh Bottoms pillbox, a thought-provoking World War 2 structure, which offers a glimpse into Cornish involvement in the conflict.
Ending at Loe Bar, this unique shingle bank is responsible for separating the freshwater Loe Pool from the sea, creating a unique ecosystem home to incredible wildlife.
St. Keverne
There are many fascinating historical walks in Cornwall, but for anyone interested in brushing up on some civil war knowledge, this walk will suit you perfectly.
Start next to the impressive 15th-century church of St. Akeveranus. Inside, there are memorials to the brave Cornishmen who lost their lives in the Penlee lifeboat disaster of 1981. Stroll around and piece together the area that is steeped in tales of the Cornish rebellion of 1497. Did you know, the leader of this rebellion was a blacksmith named Michael An Gof, meaning ‘the smith’ in Cornish.
This walk offers a gentler pace, allowing you to soak up the timeless atmosphere of where the proud Cornish identity was born.
Coverack to Lowland Point
Wondering where the quieter walks in Cornwall are? This beautiful 5-mile walk has all you need. From the charming fishing village of Coverack to the rugged landscape of Lowland Point, you’ll feel the fresh coastal air on your face as you stroll along at your own leisure.
Bring a good pair of boots, as this path winds its way through gorse bushes and heather-covered clifftops. Along the way, you’ll get to discover the rural charm of the Peninsula, and you may even get to peek at some elegant deer along the hamlet of Porthoustock. Once you’ve checked this walk off your list, treat the family to a well-deserved ice cream or dig into a filling meal back in the village of Coverack.
Stroll into serenity with the Coverack to Lowland Point Walk, where the hustle and bustle of popular spots fades into the background.
Kennack Sands to Cadgwith Cove
Located between Coverack and Lizard Point, this walk begins at Kennack Sands, a beautiful beach that's popular with surfers and families. As you follow the coast, you'll pass through a landscape that shifts between rugged cliffs and gentle valleys.
The highlight of this walk is undoubtedly Cadgwith Cove. This traditional fishing village appears as if it’s frozen in time, with its thatched cottages and working fishing boats pulled up on the beach. It's the perfect spot for a mid-walk break – perhaps trying some freshly caught fish at one of the local cafes.
