Now the National Trust has taken over the ownership of the headland they have made some improvements to the area. I have to disapprove with one thing they have done and that is the change to the car park. You used to be able to park up on the grass and sit by the side of your car and admire the magnificent view. Now they have blocked off the grassed area and around the car park with a soil banking, once the wild plants have grown on the banking they will block the view. This is not acceptable when you are disabled or have disabled people with you. National Trust you have totally ruined our...

It was the windiest day to walk around the Cornish coast at Trevose Head leading unto the Lighthouse but it was well worth it to see the rough seas and the lighthouse. It was soo windy I couldn't even hold my phone straight to take a video but I did manage a couple of photos. There were some anglers on the rocks below - I still don't know how they didn't get swept off the rocks as some of the waves were exceptionally big and the spray must have been going 20ft plus. There is free parking if you have a National Trust pass and its a good walk taking in the views...

“Bright, tall, and impossible to ignore — basically the influencer of the coastline. Trevose Head Lighthouse has been photobombing the ocean views here since 1847, and honestly, it hasn’t aged a bit.

This is one of the most magnificent walks in Cornwall! Come along for day 2 of my trip with Macs Adventure as I hike another section of the South West Coast Path from Padstow to Trevose Head Lighthouse (16km!). Of course, there's stunning scenery, rugged cliffs, beautiful beaches and some of the most turquoise waters ever! Don't miss stopping at Rest a While Tea Garden right on the trail, A great lunch spot is @beachboxcornwall in Harlyn Bay, Watch out for cute cows and sheep along the way. Be prepared for a windy hike with changing weather - don't get too close to the edge of the cliffs, stay on the path! Back in Padstow, I had fish and chips for dinner where the fish was made out of banana blossoms! Can you believe it? It was so good! @oldcustomhousepadstow And then I saw a rainbow over Padstow Harbour 🌈 Stay tuned for day 3 of my @macsadventure trip tomorrow in @lovecornwalluk @lovegreatbritain ! #Cornwall #cornwalluk #cornwallcoast #lovecornwall #walkingcornwall #walkingtheworld #walkingtrip #hikingtrail #hikingtrip #southwestcoastpath #padstow #restawhileteagarden #trevosehead #harlynbay #macsadventure #traveldiary #travelvlog #lovegreatbritain #ilovecornwall #britishseasides #cornishcoast #summer #ukholiday #seasideholiday #explorecornwall #discovercornwall #northcornwall #visitbritain
