Park opposite the chapel and walk either way around Loe Pool. It's about six miles and a lovely walk through woodland where it can be muddly in winter, and across the sand bar. There's a cafe at The Stables which serves great coffee and cake (only open weekends during winter). Check the route map at the car park before you set off to ensure you know where you are going.
This is a stunning area for a walk with dramatic cliffs, pretty countryside and a coastal path which is hard to beat. Cadgwith has a great pub for a drink or snack before or after your walk (also home to the Cadwith Singers who entertain both locals and visitors most Friday evenings) and the local fish shop sells the freshest fish you'll ever find, caught by local fishermen daily. Park in St Ruan car park beside the village hall and follow the inland footpath leading to Cadgwith. Pick up the coastal path and enjoy the stunning cliff top scenery with views towards Lizard Lighthouse and Kennack Sands. At Poltesco follow the path back inland to the car park. Points of interest include pilchard cellars and capstan houses with colourful shingle at Carleon Cove. There are some hilly/steep sections on the coastal path. A lovely 3 mile walk with a dog friendly pub en-route.
Park for free and take a walk through wooded valleys around Cornwall's largest lake. The walk will take you around Loe Pool and to the sea, across the sand bar and back along the other side (about six miles in total). For the energetic there's an outdoor gym and a cafe has just opened en-route at the Stables where you can enjoy coffee, tea and cakes. Take note though, it's only open at weekends and during school holidays.
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.
A great walk along the South West coastal path with stunning views and beaches. Don't forget to visit Ann's famous Pasty Shop in Lizard village, it will be worth it just as long as she hasn't run out! This is a strenuous walk of approximately seven miles but you can usually catch the village bus back to Mullion if the return journey is a bit much.
A secret gem of a walk. Park your car on St John's Road and walk towards the Penzance Road taking the bridge over the river Cober. Just over the river follow the footpath sign post and follow the banks of the river for quarter of a mile. Cross the bridge back over the river (the river will now be on your left) and you can walk all the way to Lowertown. The path meanders by the side of the river through woodland abundant with wildlife. When you reach the stepping stones at Lowertown you can either continue into the village or return the way you came (about a three mile walk). Wear wellies in winter because it gets mighty muddy in places.
