The Lizard to Kynance
Start in the Lizard village and go past Pentreath Cove, a locals' surfing spot, and Lion Rock, across Lizard Downs and down into Kynance Cove. Enjoy the beach - there is a cafe here for refreshments and then go up the cliff on the other side to do a big loop of the nature reserve. You will pass some ancient settlements and highland cattle and then go back towards the Lizard following the raised footpath across the fields. You can finish with one of Ann’s famous pasties on the green. More »

Helston Flora Day and the Furry Dance

Tregonning Hill
King-of-the-castle views from coast to coast. Tregonning Hill is steeped in history. Surveying the views across the surrounding countryside and out to sea, it is obvious why the Celts once chose this place to settle. In more recent times, Tregonning has played its part in the long-standing relationship between Cornishmen and the land, as the place where china clay was discovered in around 1745.

Start in the village of Balwest (off the A394 Helston-Penzance road) and head for the Germoe war memorial, which sits on top of remains of the Celtic settlement. More »

Bass Point Red Wall
Find the red brick wall that sits incongruously on the cliffs at Bass Point on the 'Three Sides of the Lizard' walk. This circular walk starts and finishes in The Lizard village, taking you around The Lizard's rugged tip, via mainland England's most southerly point. Keep your eyes peeled for a glimpse of the rare and elusive chough - this is the nesting ground for the only pair in England. More »
