Mousehole to Lamorna
Take the South West Coast Path from Mousehole harbour to the lovely cove at Lamorna. Follow the coast path signs with the sea on your left. The path hugs the coast, with opportunities for bird watching and terraces can still be seen where early daffodils were once grown for the London market. Go in April to see wild daffodils in flower. You can return by the same route or follow the signs inland from Lamorna harbour which will bring you back into Mousehole behind the bird hospital and down the hill back to the harbour.

Perranuthnoe
The path runs along the coast on the eastern side of Mount’s Bay. Pass the jagged rocks of Cudden Point to Prussia Cove, famous for its rock pools and caves as well as the smuggler John Carter, whose obsession with Frederick the Great, the King of Prussia, led to the naming of the area. Heading west will take you to Marazion.

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.
