South West Coast Path - Penzance to Falmouth

Starting in the bustling seaside town of Penzance, this less travelled section of the South West Coast Path stretches round the remote and wild Lizard Peninsular. The trail follows rugged cliff tops taking you past deserted coves and whitewashed cottages. Feast your eyes on the spectacular views as you breathe in the invigorating sea air and listen to the waves crashing on the cliffs. Due to the sub tropical conditions you will see nature at its finest. Rare wild flowers line the trail while basking sharks and grey seals can be spotted in the turquoise waters of the English Channel below.

The walk starts in the bustling fishing village of Penzance with its abundance of art galleries and craft shops. Heading south, the attractive coastline dominates and you soon pass the stunning ‘St Michael’s Mount’ which is linked to the mainland by a cobbled causeway. Loe Pool is another highlight which is Cornwall’s largest freshwater lake and walking along the shingle beach with water on both sides is a real treat. The path then heads round to Lizard passing old Serpentine works and undulating cliff top walking where the path turns to head north up the spine of Cornwall. Many coves and pretty beaches follow as you reach Helford passage and then a gentle day to finish up in Falmouth.

Highlights:

• The stunning sight of St Michael's Mount.
  
• Loe Pool - Cornwall's largest freshwater lake.
  
• Sub tropical conditions - producing rare, wild flowers.
