This stunning walk will take you along the coastal path around St Agnes Head. En-route you will pass Wheal Coates Engine House and then climb up the Beacon for a panoramic view from St Ives to Newquay.
250 acres of woodland with over nine miles of paths to explore and a gentle three mile cycle track. Peaceful woods, lakes, picnic areas and a cafe make Tehidy a great choice for a day out when you want to get away from it all. In spring, the carpet of bluebells is quite a sight.
From here you can pick up the Bissoe Trail and either walk to Perranporth (about seven miles one way) or Bissoe (about three miles one way). Enjoy scenic inland Cornwall at its finest with lush countryside views and heritage sites. The path in either direction is fairly flat but watch out for cyclists as there is cycle hire at Bissoe which is really popular. There is a nice cafe with outdoor seating at Bissoe. Perranporth has a wide sandy beach and small cafe with a sea view.
This 11 mile trail is ideally suited for cyclists and keen walkers and offers the chance to explore Cornwalls industrial history. It can be started from either Portreath on the North Cornish coast or Devoran on the South coast. Please see website link for starting point details if you decide to start from Devoran.
An easy stroll around the headland and just over half a mile in length. Park at Godrevy Head car park and follow the coastal path keeping the sea on your left. Stay on the path until you reach a slight decent past Mutton Cove (no access) and then take the footpath on the right back to the car park. A great walk for children as there are beaches, a lighthouse and even occasionally a pod of dolphins who reside in St Ives Bay can be seen. There is a stile and slight incline so this walk is not suitable for pushchairs or people with impaired mobility.
