St Agnes lies in the heart of Cornwall’s mining heritage; all along the coast here you’ll see old mining engine houses rising from the cliffs. The steep and narrow streets here are lined with almost unbearably quaint, higgledy-piggledy cottages.

Perranporth (4.9 miles)
Tin mining was once the raison d’etre of Perranporth but now it is more famous for surfing and sand yachting. Relaxation is the principal activity here and with miles upon miles of sand to play on, it’s not difficult to unwind in Perranporth. Away from the beach, Perranporth has a lively music scene with bands performing every weekend at the Watering Hole, a popular pub, and an annual celebration of folk music, the Lowender Perran Festival each autumn.

Portreath (3.5 miles)
Despite having a good sandy beach, a pretty harbour with bobbing fishing boats and a selection of places to eat, Portreath has somehow escaped the commercial excesses of tourism. Popular with surfers, Portreath at high tide can be quite a spectacle with body boarders hurling themselves into the waves generated by the harbour wall, known locally as the ‘Vortex’. If you’d like to explore away from the beach, less than two miles from Portreath is Tehidy Country Park with 250 acres of woodland and trails.
