Sennen Cove to Land's End
Apart from a bit of a steep climb at the start, this is a moderate three-mile walk along the cliffs with stunning sea views. Join the Coast Path from the harbour car park at Sennen Cove. The climb up to the Old Coastguard Lookout is rewarded with great views across Sennen beach to Cape Cornwall . From here, it's a fairly gentle walk along the cliffs to England's most westerly point at Land's End.

Geevor Tin Mine Circular
A lovely circular walk which starts at Geevor Tin Mine where you can take a tour with a guide. The terrain is moderate with some climbing and stepping stones and watch out at the end of the walk as the common land you will cross can be boggy! Take your dog with you as this walk passes a beach and pubs where they are welcome.

Pendeen Lighthouse to Cape Cornwall
Start at Pendeen Watch Lighthouse for a spectacular coastal walk through some of Cornwall's old mining district. The coast path hugs dramatic cliffs for about three miles to Cape Cornwall, England's only cape and the point at which the Atlantic currents split. If you're feeling energetic, extend your walk another four miles or so along the coast to the beautiful sandy beach at Sennen. Look out for seals and sea birds along your way.
