Best Coastal Walks in Cornwall

Six walks along the South West Coast Path that showcase Cornwall at its most spectacular.

Kynance Cove to Lizard Point

Around three miles of easy clifftop walking, with choughs overhead and cream teas at the end.

St Ives to Zennor

Six wild miles of granite cliffs and boulder-strewn paths — allow a full day and finish at the village pub.

Pentire Point

A headland loop from Polzeath with Iron Age forts, seals and frequent dolphin sightings.

The Hall Walk, Fowey

A gentle loop with two ferry crossings, woodland paths and estuary views.

Safety on the coast path

Wear good boots, check tide times if dropping onto beaches, and keep dogs on leads near cliff edges and livestock.
