Penwith Heritage Coast — Attraction in St Buryan, Lamorna and Paul

I walked from Newlyn to St Ives while staying in a campsite at Sennen.This part of our coast is stunning and includes sandy beaches,sheer drops,deep valleys and the iconic Cornish tin mines.Ive walked the Channel Island Way,the Jurassic coast Walk and part of the Gower and in a way this was a little more challenging and definitely just as pretty.Every mile is different and there's so much wildlife,thousands of butterflies,the odd slow worm and adder,horned cows,horses and donkeys,most roaming free and you will learn to love at smile at the unique stiles here and the views.Anyone who has walked here will try to describe the views,but it's not easy.A lot of people do the walk and stay at a different campsite on every section of the walk and it's quite easy,loads of campsites here.The photographs don't really do the walk justice,every few yards offer a different view.I was lucky and the weather was amazing,June-July 2018,but you need to carry your own food and water,not many cafes here.I tripped and split my knee open at Morvah and grateful for the first aid kit i carried.Beware the suicidal bikers.One announced he was passing me and i assume i was supposed to get out of his way.He fell off his bike and narrowly missed taking me with him down a slope and close to the cliff.Most of the time there is only a path very close to the cliff.When times are hard,remember there is a race called the rat race and covers 30 km of coast path and the entrants run.I had to crawl and climb some parts of the walk.You've read this far and i know you'll love the walk.It's not a race and you don't have to do all of it.Enjoy yourselves.The pathway a quiet place and you will meet fellow walkers but during the isolated stretches you might not meet anyone.If there's a road nearby,such as near the mines,Cape Cornwall,and obviously Lands End you almost certainly will.I enjoy exploring and always set out with enthusiasm to see what is around the corner or visit that building on top of the hill in the distance.I can go home happy knowing I've satisfied...

A beautiful place with a wide diversity of places. Rugged coastline offering sandy beaches and secluded coves. Crashing waves giving a hint of the potential ferocity of the elements and the danger facing the brave souls who turn to the sea for their living. Tiny fishing villages with streets not meant for today's traffic and coastal walks for the more energetic of us and, everywhere, the remnants of the mining industry which once gave a perilous and hard fought existence to so many. Lands End, a beautiful place spoilt by commercialism but only a stone's throw from the beautiful Cape Cornwall. The Minack cliff top open air theatre is a unique cultural and visual delight and overlooks Porthcurno beach, a glorious spot and from where the first transatlantic cables were pulled out from by sailing ship. These were followed by more cables linking Great Britain with the farthest flung parts of the former empire and providing secure communications during wartime. The Telegraph Museum lies deep within the surrounding cliffs and is an incredible opportunity to see the original equipment in place in this subterranean complex. The list of places to visit seems endless. Sennen Cove, Geevor tin mine, Sancreed beacon. I make no apology for rambling on a bit. Go and have a...
