Church Cove
(2.3 miles)
A good family beach with National Trust parking and a small cafe. The tiny 15th Century church on the north side of this cove is slowly being buried in sand but still manages to lend an ethereal feel to this beach.

Cadgwith
(4.6 miles)
Tucked away on the tip of the wild Lizard peninsula, Cadgwith is a gorgeous harbour village with ‘chocolate box’ charm by the bucketful. Thatched cottages line the narrow streets with evocative names like ‘Kiddleywink’ and ‘Dolphin Cottage’. The friendly village pub, the Cadgwith Cove Inn, is steeped in history and makes a great place for an evening meal – much of the seafood on the menu is landed at the cove itself. Pop in on a Friday night and you might just find yourself joining in with the weekly gig by the Cadgwith Singers.

The Old Inn
(1.8 miles)
Traditional thatched pub reputed to have been frequented by Marconi, The Old Inn serves a good range of bar and restaurant meals and a good Sunday roast. Eat on the patio outside when the sun shines, there is an abundance of seating and you can marvel at the splendid hanging baskets, some of the largest you will surely ever see.

Cadgwith
(4.4 miles)
Cadgwith is an idyllic fishing village with thatched cottages spilling onto a tiny beach full of fishing boats. Park above the village and join the coastal path - you will see the large white dishes of Goonhilly Earth Satellite Tracking Station and then Lloyds Signal Station. Eventually you will pass the Devil’s Frying Pan, a 200ft drop to a collapsed sea cave where the sea flows through a narrow arch at high tide.

Helford
(4.9 miles)
The village of Helford is a hidden gem of a place, secreted on the banks of the Helford River and surrounded by ancient woodland, deep valleys and creeks. Take a passenger ferry along the river and you’ll feel as if you’ve entered another world, a peaceful refuge from the traffic and crowds of the 21st century. It’s impossible not to think of smugglers, pirates and Daphne du Maurier’s tortured heroines as you slide across the water through this beautiful corner of Cornwall.
